Helen McKinlay<\/p><\/div>\n

Tuesday is Tuesday Poem<\/a> day, and this week I featured a poem by fellow Tuesday Poem community poet, Helen McKinlay. The poem is “Juice of Nelson Haven”<\/em> — check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I also very much enjoyed the featured poem on the Tuesday Poem Hub — selected by fellow community member Eileen Moeller<\/a>, it is “What We Call Frog Hunting”<\/em> by US poet Jane Springer<\/strong>. Well worth a read, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

—<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And yesterday I was very pleased to host a guest post by Ripley Patton <\/a>on her YA novel, Ghost Hand<\/em><\/strong><\/a> — focusing on why this<\/em> particular story and also about her current kickstarter project to see the novel published. Check the post\u00a0 out here<\/a> — and if you like what you read, consider supporting the Ghost Hand<\/em> kickstarter. (A link is provided at the end of the post.)<\/p>\n

What’s Coming Up?<\/h4>\n

Well, today I’m hoping to see my poem \u2018Stepping Into Rain\u2019<\/em> featured in the Christchurch Press. Shall nip out to buy a paper very soon to “check and see” — if I have not done so already by the time you are reading this! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

And hey, still old fashioned: there’s nothing quite as nice for me as seeing my work featured in ink, on paper.\u00a0 It’s so, you know, tangible<\/em>…<\/p>\n

—<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Last but not least, Andrew Robins, who penned last week’s review of Kim Stanley Robinson’s<\/a> 2312<\/em><\/strong>, here<\/a>, tells me that there may be a review of John Scalzi’s<\/a> Red Shirts<\/em><\/strong> in the offing. So — watch this space!\u00a0 (But no breath holding mind, OSH & ACC might not approve!)<\/p>\n
