the rejection thread: update

yup, another rejection to add to the list. i was beginning to think that lit magazine editors had forgotten about me. from now on, additions to the rejection thread will be in bold at the top of the list.

poems

submitted two poems to warpland yesterday, published by the gwendolyn brooks center at chicago state university. one of them is burn, a reworking of an earlier post on this blog; the other is called "a casual conversation with a near stranger or a poem about my blackness," and i wrote it after an encounter with a young white guy in columbia's dining hall...said young man actually and without prompting told me that he had been born with a black soul, and i asked him how he possibly knew that he was born with a black soul, and then i had to write a poem about it.

we'll see how it goes, whether i add these to the rejection thread or if i get to start a yay! accepted thread. workin on some other submissions.
