Flashquake Acceptance
Flashquake have accepted A List of Asides (with a triumphant aside to Ralph Fiennes) for their Fall issue...I am tickled a rosy shade of pink at this news...I really enjoyed reading the editors' comments on the piece...and I get $5 and a CD version of the zine.
Here are the editors' comments that Debi forwarded me...: )
We thought that you would like to see the comments from our editors:
Editor 1 Vote: Maybe
Ed. 1 Comments: I like the writing but have no idea what this is about.
Editor 3 Vote: Yes
Ed. 3 Comments: A very nicely woven string of thoughts.
Editor 4 Vote: Yes
Ed. 4 Comments: I love the way this comes together.
Editor 5 Vote: Yes
Ed. 5 Comments: This voice has momentum
and gritty drive. Very compelling.
Editor 6 Vote: Maybe
Ed. 6 Comments: There's a certain Dada
quality about this poem that provides narrative
drive. It doesn't make much sense,
but it kept me entertained.
Thank you for trusting us with your work.

Congratulations, Liz. Interesting comments--
congrats on Flashquake. Love the title and look forward to the poem. (remind me when, I'm old.)
Those comments are interesting. And what happened to editor 2? Was she axed? They must have a lot of money to throw around if they have six editors to read the submissions. How many editors does it take to screw in a lightbulb? And can it be done without editor 2?
LIZ!!!!! Whooo-hooooo! Congratulations on ALL your fantastic acceptances. I can't think of anyone more deserving. I'll admit, I saw your name on the Best New Poets list when it came out and I was overjoyed for you. Celebrate!
Thanks Sam : )
Sarah, thanks...yeah the missing editor 2 got me thinking too - maybe he/she was a no-show or no-comment : )
Sharon, thanks for your kind words. : )
Hi Liz,
What a beautiful blog and lovely photos. I love the photos of your nephews and the cow. Congrats on your aceptances, I love the editor notes...editor #2 must be on hiatus. Well deserved on the Best of the Net and Best New Poets. I wish I could leave you some dancing bananas...
Very cool Beans!!!
Like the story about the 200 dollars and the fate jab at your Dad. Congrats.
