I had a poem accepted for inclusion in The Southern Poetry Anthology, Volume VI: Tennessee, to be published by the Texas Review Press. This means a lot to me, because it’s been 25 years’ of frustration in trying to get publication recognition in my home state of Tennessee. I’ve been wildly successful getting published around the world, in 26 countries and five languages, but Tennessee’s never been very kind to me. So, this is a nice gift.
