Pale Horse Review + Mario Mushroom Update [Op. 39]

Short update here today. It seems that three of my poems have been accepted for publication in Pale Horse Review. They gave me a very short acceptance letter but have promised a longer, more formal acceptance in the future. Details to come. Oh, and BTW, check this out.



Oh yeah, A.J. Jacobs, the author of The Know-It-All and The Year of Living Biblically (one of my favorite books) has just liked my status update announcement regarding acceptance into Pale Horse Review. Awww yeah, Pale Horse, I think the ante has just been upped MOFO's!!! Now that's an update that just ate a Mario Mushroom! *flexes muscles* Update [26 July 2012]: Pale Horse has accepted one of my poems actually. It's called "An Ideal Evening" as it appears in there, but I've since changed it to "Tender Is The Night." It has received some heavy edits in print, but it should be out soon.

Nickle Beer Night, hopefully soon. [Op. 38, #'s 1 & 2]

New news to all the folks who follow me, I'm getting some poems published soon! Take a look at Nickle Beer Night in April for the poems "Noise [Op. 38, #1]" and "Culpability [Op. 38, #2]." Both poems will likely see inclusion in some form or another in my upcoming collection of poems being released on God Knows What. The collection is still under construction, but I've read a poem I hope to include in the manuscript soon and I think it's shaping up well despite some serious hick-ups in the process. (It's been hard to get it just right, but I must've finally stumbled on the right way to do it.)

Mad Swirl [Op. 37]

Salutations, Mosskeyites (nickname for fans under review)! I just received word that a poem which is currently included in the manuscript that I am shopping around for publication has been published in one of my favorite online forums, Mad Swirl. This is very cool because Mad Swirl has published three of three other poems by me in the past, and each one has been special in its own way. I should also note that I've decided to include my other published poem, "Venus Anadyomene" in my manuscript, so that poem will disappear soon and be replaced by a link to the place that has published it. As of now, the manuscript is looking extremely good and I couldn't be more pleased, barring perhaps an addition or two I hope to make in the near future. Stay tuned for updates on the world of publishing as updates will come as they arrive.

The Neglected Ratio [Op. 36]

My first poem of the year, "Venus Anadyomene" (Op. 36) has been published in The Neglected Ratio. I'm so glad to be a part of this online publication and have had the honor of getting three of my poems published for their first time (not including this one) with them. Since the publication is run by one person, response times are quick (both have been lightning fast with me) and everything fits tightly together. The editor's taste in poetry is top notch. In fact, I have to admit I was about to give up on trying to publish this poem as it has been rejected so many times. I don't even think I was going to include it in any collections, but the acceptance of this over other material has made me completely re-evaluate the piece and my change of heart has caused me to include it in the manuscript for my (hopefully) upcoming collection, Telos and Other Psychographs.

15 Minutes of Poetry

Listen to internet radio with Annmarie Lockhart on Blog Talk Radio

Here is my interview on 15 Minutes of Poetry. It features two poems read aloud that will appear in my upcoming book and one poem that will feature exclusively on the program (for now). It was taped on Thanksgiving of all days, so forgive the turkey talk. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed being there. Here is a link for those who can't stream the episode for whatever reason. This will be more like a youtube video of sorts. Click here.
