Vote in Rainbow Awards for LGBT Writing
I awoke this morning to find that Elisa Rolle, an Italian reviewer of LGBT writing, was running a poll on Live Journal for the Rainbow Awards, and that my poetry chapbook THE UNDERWATER HOSPITAL was in the running in the Bisexual Poetry category. If you have a Live Journal account and you liked THE UNDERWATER HOSPITAL, please vote for it at http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/80....
If you don't have a Live Journal account, you can still leave a comment in support of the books you like. All categories are listed at http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/81....

Happy Thanksgiving!
Dear Friends,
I'm thankful for what health I have, for my family, husband and you, my friends. I'm grateful that so many things still get me excited. This morning it's the fact that my poem "Tom's Quality of Light" is one of six nominees for the Goodreads Newsletter Poetry Contest. The quality of the other poems nominated is very high. Please read them all and vote at http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2....
In other news, my poetry chapbook THE UNDERWATER HOSPITAL won Phases One and Two (the "popularity contest" part) of the Rainbow Awards for LGBT books, thanks to your votes, my friends. I'm grateful for that, too! It is now being considered by a jury of LGBT writers for the final award. Results should be out by mid-December.
My poem "Water and Salt" will be coming out soon in The Crazy Child Scribbler, while four poems were just accepted by Full of Crow's poetry editor MK Chavez.
Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving, and hoping you also have many things for which to feel thankful.
Warmly,
Jan
