At this point, the answer is no. Thus, the lack of posts on my blog about submitting lol. Time isn't the issue at all, I've got plenty of time. I just don't have enough new poems available to submit right now. I submitted the best poems from my writing sample and they've been accepted. <br /><br />Right now I'm only focused on writing as much as possible. Once I've done that, submitting is easy. I wrote 6 new poems last month and my productivity is increasing so by the end of the semester I hope to be submitting again.<br /><br />Also, my poetry is heading in a direction I'm not familiar with so I'm not comfortable with what I'm writing at all right now. That's the part of this that I can attribute to being a new student in an MFA program. I find myself reading my stuff and questioning, "Is this even a poem?" It's early in my program so I'm taking risks and seeing where my writing goes. I don't think much of what I'm writing right now could be considered publishable. <br /><br />Sorry for the long answer. I really was just thinking about this today!JayTeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923700657540655227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787723469092825038.post-81628413509100831052009-10-03T23:37:55.166-07:002009-10-03T23:37:55.166-07:00Do you still find time to prepare submissions now ...Do you still find time to prepare submissions now that you're in an MFA program?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171507692922556089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5787723469092825038.post-33775563670582477842009-09-15T13:00:59.507-07:002009-09-15T13:00:59.507-07:00Thanks for your message on my blog.

A list of four poets who someone we trust believes we should read based on our writing.<br /><br />And I, like you, am very excited to get copies of these books. To see what it is about these poets that may seem familiar. Or instructing.<br /><br />Let us know how these books read, for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
