Good News in the Mailbox

Filed under: General — Neil Aitken @ 6:15 pm

More good news in the mailbox today — “Outside Plato’s Republic the Last Poets Wait for Departure” will be appearing in the next issue of RHINO.

Yet another poem I owe to my experiences at the Kundiman retreat. I don’t think my manuscript would be half as good as it is now without the poems I wrote there.

As a sidenote, this acceptance is particularly satisfying because it marks the first of the new poems from this past year to make it into print. I can honestly say that I am proud of this publication and proud of this poem. While it’s nice to see my older work accepted for publication, there’s nothing as validating as seeing your current work find a home.

    Great news, and I cannot wait to read this one to see if the poets were waiting at the bus station or the dock.
