From my Sunday Brunch column at All Things Girl:

April is National Poetry Month, at least in the USA, and the eighteenth is the day we’re supposed to acknowledge the poems we carry in our pockets. Most of my clothes don’t even have pockets, and the only poetry I write is not for public consumption, but I’ve loved poetry since I was young enough to embrace A.A. Milne (he wrote SO much more than just Winnie the Pooh) and eschew Dr. Seuss (sorry but his silly sing-song-y stuff does nothing for me), so I thought I’d chat about that today.

ALL THINGS GIRL – Mid-Issue Update

1 April 2008 by MissMeliss

The mid-issue update of All Things Girl has gone live, and includes part one of my interview with Lauren Henderson, author of the YA mystery/romance Kiss Me Kill Me, which we’re also giving away five copies of, on the ATG blog (that post will go up tomorrow afternoon).

Words, Words, Words (now with live links)

…or at least links to them

As I posted, I’ve become more active in my favorite e-zine All Things Girl, and they’ve given me the title of Sr. Editor. The mid-issue update will go live on April 1st (no, really) but in the meantime I’ve got some stuff in the March/April edition already:

Sun Hats and Fresh Tomatoes is a brief nostalgia trip to my grandfather’s garden.

and I also reviewed the book

Midori by Moonlight, by Wendy Nelson Tokunaga.

As well, tonight/tomorrow a new webzine, Pink Nighties, a new erotic e-zine is having it’s launch, and I have two pieces in that, as well as a “contributing editor” credit:

Chai is the first part of a short story that will be serialized there over the next several issues, and there’s also a
Product Review (bear in mind it’s a sex-positive, erotic fiction zine when considering that piece).

(Friday: 8:44 AM CDT: This post has been updated to include live links to the stuff at Pink Nighties. Enjoy. )

Enjoy!
