Memoirous

 A piece that was accepted ages ago and is out now. Hoot Literary Review is a postcard, Sea of Lingerie is their November postcard , which you can order--this from their website: The idea is: -to have stories and poems on a postcard, so that they can be displayed and shared easily. Stick it on the fridge! Tuck it in your husband’s/wife’s briefcase or nephew’s book bag! -for people to have a literary magazine that they can both afford to subscribe to and have time to read. Never again will you be able to claim that you don’t have time to read current literature! Each post card will have fewer than two “Tweets.” Except it’s not digital! The idea is: -to have a literary magazine that is excellent in a pure way. artwork by Janet Cameron –want to read more?  Well, you can check out  HOOT  online — which is equally good work, but without the postcard…because let’s face it, we can’t avoid digitalness completely. HOOT online follows the same standard...

I’ve had a few less acceptances this year . . . after a record-setting acceptances last year. In fact, I was growing despondent—there’s always an emotional high, a release of adrenaline when I do receive notice of an acceptance. Through Submittable I saw that HOOT had taken a short-short for their postcard review. These are snippets, text short enough to fit on the back of a postcard. I had Sea of Lingerie ready and sent it in. It’s an odd duck—perfect for HOOT. To go along with the piece they wanted art, which I had on hand and an audio recording—which I produced with my morning voice. A combination of befuddled old lady and smokey, dry throat.
