I'm going to be Anthologized!

[RetroLounge]

Just got word that a poem I wrote and got published 15 years ago in a now-defunct literary journal out of Allentown, PA was selected to be included in a new book coming out the end of the year from The University of Wisconsin, an anthology of UW Alumni poets.

Holy Cow! That's a pretty cool surprise!

They own the copywrite now until the book comes out.

At that time, I'd be glad to post it.

59. RL, are you familiar with Philadelphia Poets, a poetry pub that

used to come out every month or so?
I am wondering if it still exists - Had some things in it about 20 years ago.
Shit, where did all that time go?
