***PUBLISHED***
Recently, Samari Zysk, the editor of Maw Poetry Magazine, emailed me the news that two of the five poems I submitted, "Steal This House" and "Sand Hill: Sparkman Homes, mid to late '80s," have been chosen for publication in the upcoming fifth issue which headlines the theme "listen" that is a dedication to subjects that pique interests. This makes the second installment in the said magazine (I was also published in the first issue) and, as always, this is a nice and humbling experience to know that my words continue to travel outside of my realm. Moreover, I'm happy that these two poems were prior shares with the public via open mic poetry readings, one read in person, the other through a ZOOM meeting not long after the pandemic's inception. Let me include congratulations to all the other poets chosen for this issue as well, and if any poet is reading this who'd like to try their hand at publication or if you're a poetry aficionado, please feel free to use the following link and explore Maw yourself. Also, I will post a notification and link once I'm informed when issue five goes online. Thank you all for your support. -Jarrod
