I’m very excited to announce the publication of Lifting the Sky: Southwestern Haiku and Haiga! I received my free copy a while back, and it was exciting to read my poem in print! It was also neat to see the book for sale on Amazon. Here’s a picture of the title:

I definitely learned a lot about the art of writing haiku from reading the excellent entries in Lifting the Sky. My thanks to Dos Gatos Press for putting this anthology together, and to making one of my most cherished dreams come true: to see my writing in a book.
I’m also excited to announce I’ve just reviewed the proof of my poem Bruce King’s Chickens. It was originally published in the online anthology 200 New Mexico Poems, but the editor has decided to put the collection in print. I checked out the PDF proof of the book on Thursday, and found out that my poem is in the “Legend” section.
I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
Congratulations.
Thank you! It may not seem like much, but it’s a big break for me.
