Hi all--
SauxyVox's editor Feith Stuart is planning a special issue on abusive relationships for December. If you have a story, poem, essay, or illustration that will fit within the theme, Submit!!!
All the best
Chris
*******
From Feith Stuart --
I’m planning an issue of SaucyVox that will be themed for December. The December issue will be full of work by survivors of abuse. If you are a survivor, or have a venue that allows you to post calls for submissions, I’d really appreciate some help with raising awareness of this issue.
The following is the call:
SaucyVox(Dot)Com (http://saucyvox.com) is preparing a special edition made up entirely of submissions by survivors of abuse in all its forms. Short stories, essays, memoir, poetry, photography and digital versions of visual arts, mixed media – all forms are welcome. The work need not be related to the theme of abuse, but all artists will be asked to include the following statement in their biography –
“My name is ______, and I am a survivor of ____________.”
The point of the edition is to raise awareness of abuse in our society as well as to demystify the face of the abused. There are no gender or age restrictions.
Please send all submissions to abuseproject@saucyvox.com

Hi Chris.
I've been catching up on old threads while I have some extra time, so I checked this link and lo and behold you are a featured poet in this issue! I tried to click the link under your name, though, and it seems not to work. Any suggestions? I'd like to read your stuff.

Hey, never mind, it decided to work, and I'm so glad. Nice work Chris. I particularly enjoyed the Larkin homage, and I appreciated the references in "Court Green": the yew tree, the post mortem - having read a lot of Plath in my youth.
A very nice collection of poems. Sorry I found them so late. Check 'em out, other people!

Hi Kelly
Many thanks for catching up on my poems. Will you be coming to see my musical performed in Charlotte and to hear the talks by Joe Chetcuti, Dan Norder, Stan Russo and Dr. Jim Bailey? Also as you probably know James Jeffrey Paul's "Miller's Court" is to be performed.
Here are a few more things that might interest you--
There's an interview with me at
http://mysite.verizon.net/respyegf
And here's a poem with a timely subject--
Deep Impact
The NASA techs and scientists give each other high fives.
Dressed in red and blue shirts especially for July the Fourth,
they're joyfully ecstatic to impact the comet with their probe,
"igniting a dazzling fireworks display in space," CNN extolls.
Planned destruction, shock and awe in the name of science,
like the bullet ship in Georges Méliès' Voyage dans la Lune
filmed in 1902: one in the eye for the green cheese Moon.
Disregard the destruction, NASA reassures Earth worrywarts,
"The comet will not split in half or be jarred out of its orbit;
the impact will pose no danger to Earth in the near future."
And what if life exists on it? Inside the comet may be
the DNA that made you and those NASA geeks.

Thanks for posting the interview. I've always enjoyed the poems you post here, but the collection posted above at saucyvox is particularly good. I can
see some of your influences, but the writing is distinctly yours.
I agree with your comment that to write well one has to read well. I'm a big fan of Harold Bloom, and I remember him saying once that something important was lost when schools stopped making kids memorize poetry. Rote memorization is not necessarily the best teaching tool, but I agree with Bloom that there is something about HAVING a poem. It lives in you and stays with you.
I used to use poems as audition monologues years ago, and I love being able to pull them out of my brain (I used to use "Lady Lazarus" quite a bit).
Unfortunately, I probably can't go to the convention (I have a week-long D.C. trip coming up, plus a trip to Japan), but I'll be in Baltimore for sure.
Keep posting your work.
-Kelly
