I just got another acceptance, to a local poetry mag, Monterey Poetry Review. I am so pleased to be in this--I LOVE being in local magazines like this one and the honorable Porter Gulch Review, so changed now from its humble newsprint roots. I even co-won the Porter Gulch's Mary Lonnberg Smith poetry award, along with Julia Alter, five years ago.
Monterey Poetry Review is a wonderful publication and I am happy to see that I will be in it with some wonderful poets, such as Dane Cervine and Patti Sirens. I'm very proud to be a writer affiliated with Santa Cruz--it is my heart's home.
Mr. Strega and I are going out to the bank and for a quick coffee date, and then I will be back to the essay I've started and to The Book. I dreamed I had the book done last night, but lost my regular glasses and had to wear my reading glasses (the kind that have multicolored frames). Maybe it was a strange version of "rose colored glasses."
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
