Wow. My essay “Out West,” orginally in Orion last fall, has just been nominated for a National Magazine Award (also known as an “Ellie”). And I’m up against Garrison Keillor, Mitch Albom, and Michael Pollan!

“Hayrake” to Appear in BPJ
Just heard from the editors of Beloit Poetry Journal that they’d like my poem “Hayrake” for an upcoming issue. Here’s a little bit about BPJ from The Literary Magazine Review:
Once in a while, I’ll pick up a lit mag and read a great poem by someone I’ve never heard of. A poem that knocks me down and steals my shoes and makes me walk back to my own poor town over rocks and thorns. A poem that knocks the oomph out of my status quo. A poem I want to read to everybody. One that works and risks while it works. The Beloit Poetry Journal offers such poems.
