Brittle Star

I had a poem, Treaty House, accepted for issue 19 of Brittle Star yesterday, in what's been a big week for me. I've got a couple of major developments to report, but they'll have to wait until the weekend. In the meantime, it's full steam ahead practicing for Friday's reading (I know my name's not there, but I will be there, honest). I've been reading loudly to the living room for the last week. The response has been somewhat muted.

Hey Matt - look forward to seeing your work in Brittle Star - it's a top little magazine. You can find a poem of mine, 'Mowing', in the summer 07 issue (17, I think).

Good luck for the reading.

Thanks Ben. It is a mag I like a lot, so was delighted to get in. I'll post a reading report on Saturday or Sunday (I'm sure Rob will too).

Nice one, Matt. I've not read the mag before, but it looks impressive.

Well done, Matt. I haven't seen Brittle Star either.

I've just posted my report on the Carlisle reading. What a fun time!
