I miss and will continue to miss her. Especially for all her support and wry humour.

Sorry I've been out of touch for a while. It has been a tough, busy time. Wanted to let you know, though, that Polar Borealis published a new poem of mine, guided by a Jt Stewart acrostic exercise, trying to capture the feel of my 2nd novel. polarborealis.ca/wp-content/upl…

Six readings in Seattle this summer! (Five to go!) Join us at these locations for some amazing speculative fiction.

A new poem, "The Solstice Gods Mess With My Head" appeared today at Mad Swirl (and will move down the page then disappear from the site in a week or so): madswirl.com/category/poetr…)

RocketMan is playing me moon songs, everywhere from Eno's Apollo to Steeleye Span's Drink Down the Moon and there's a hell of a lot in between. Neil(e) who, arm what?

New poem "God of the In-Between" in Mad Swirl madswirl.com/poetry/2019/09…

In other news, last night I turned in the galley corrections for my upcoming poetry collection, The Walk She Takes. This will be my first book in 19 years! 19 years!! (the same number of years I've been working for Clarion West. Coincidence?)

New poem: mirrordancefantasy.com/2019/09/the-go… and more good news in a few days that I'm really excited about.

I am thrilled to announce that The Walk She Takes, my poetry collection about traveling in Scotland and into my own middle age has just appeared. For info see neilegraham.com. This is my first new collection in 19 years and I am wildly happy.

Thank you, Nicolaz Cruz, and thanks to everyone willing to help. This is something Clarion West Writers Workshop has been dreaming of forever and never had the funds to make happen. Help CW make it real.

Finally, some good news in 2020.

What a wonderful nomination honor for the Clarion West board, staff, volunteers, instructors, and students!

In support of Clarion West Writers Workshop, I have signed up for the write-a-thon again this summer. Sign up yourself or support some great writers or support me if you want to see my messy first poetry drafts. secure.qgiv.com/event/writeath…

Wow, I can speak to this. Causing that disappointment was the most painful part of the job when I was was doing that. There's so much talent and promise out there. Your talent and promise. And this no does NOT mean you're not a writer or won't have a great career.

Wow, what a great poem. A powerful, speaking meld of the personal and political. Damn. poets.org/poem/good-grie…

Hey, I'm participating in the Clarion West Write-a-thon once again. Sponsors will get poems (ha! whether they want them or not) and hear about progress on my novel. Summer is here! secure.qgiv.com/event/clarionw…

I’m Neile_says over at the blue place. I don’t post much there either, but I’d be happy to see you there as I won’t be checking in here. Thanks for the old good times.
