So long had it been
Since I held a spring blossom--
I had forgotten.

Five poems published in The Beatnik

This year is turning out to be a good year for publication for me!  In addition to having a poem ("Thoughts While Viewing Van Gogh's 'Fishing Boats...'") published in the journal Do Not Look at the Sun, five poems of mine were published in the on-line journal, The Beatnik.  The poems are:  "Claudia Greets Me in the Morning," "Dead Roses," "Rain Falls from a Somber Sky," "Reading Li Po on a Winter Day," and "Age Pares the Fruit of Life."  Both journals are on-line; both provided links to my blog page, which has resulted in more traffic on this site.  Thank you to the journal editors, and to readers for following those links.

The poems in The Beatnik are available here:  http://whollycommunion.blogspot.com/2011/03/michael-ratcliffe-five-poems.html

I've currently got poems out for review at Little Patuxent Review and You Are Here:  the Journal of Creative Geography, both journals in which I've published previously.  Keeping my fingers crossed for a few more published poems.

January 14, 2012 Update:  the poems out for review at the Little Patuxent Review and You Are Here were not accepted for publication.
