Stone Canoe no. 13 Release Party!
Last night's release party for Stone Canoe no. 13 at The Downtown Writer's Center was such a blast! What an honor and a delight to be the guest Poetry Editor for this issue! Thank you to everyone who sent in your poems for consideration and to the 25 poets whose work appears in the issue. It was such a joy to hear poetry readings by Laura Donnelly, Devon Branca, Genoa Wilson, and Jackie Craven (apologies for my blurry cell photos). Huge thanks to the diligent Assistant Editors Judy Carr, Cindy Ostuni, and Gloria Heffernan -- your wise work has paid off in a beautiful issue and you should be proud. Thank you to Managing Editor Carol Biesemeyer for your many considerations. And thank you again to Phil Memmer for inviting me to be a part of this issue. Everyone should order a copy and chase the winter blues away with all the poems, fiction, nonfiction...there's also a play, interviews with Alison Lurie and Edward Hower, a trove of visual art! Long live Stone Canoe! https://ycny.org/stone-canoe
I’m the Guest Poetry Editor for Stone Canoe Issue 13!
I’m delighted to share the news that I’ve been asked to be the guest poetry editor for the next issue of Stone Canoe. From now until July 8 we’ll be reading poetry for issue 13 to appear in 2019. I’m thrilled to join the team for the next issue and excited to read what you have to send us!
Stone Canoe, a journal of arts and ideas from Upstate New York, was founded at Syracuse University’s University College, and is now published by The YMCA’s Downtown Writers Center, at the Arts Branch of the YMCA of Greater Syracuse.
In order to be eligible to submit, you must have a first-person connection to Upstate New York, but the poems submitted can be about anything at all. The work does not need to involve New York State. For simplicity’s sake, we current define “Upstate” as that portion of the state which is outside of New York City and Long Island. Examples of qualifying connections include but are not limited to: being born here, even if you moved away later; going to college at an upstate school such as SUNY Binghamton, Ithaca College, Syracuse University, etc.; working in the area currently or at some point in the past.

Had a lovely time at the Stone Canoe issue launch party tonight. Many thanks to the editors for choosing my work and putting together a fantastic issue that includes an interview with the artist Carrie Mae Weems, poetry by wonderful poets like fellow SU MFA folks Eric Berlin & David Guvstavsen, & lots of fine fiction, nonfiction, even (very short) drama. Here's my new poem in the issue. There's no online version, but you'll soon be able to buy the beautifully designed print journal on the Stone Canoe website/through Amazon.
This Sunday! ~5pm, at La Casita Cultural Center in Syracuse. I'll be reading with fellow poetry contributors to celebrate the launch of Stone Canoe Issue 9. I don't believe there's a full online version, but hopefully soon you'll be able to get the beautifully designed print journal through online means!
The reading will feature:
Jackie Craven, Jim Crenner, Dante Di Stefano, Michael Jennings, Ellen Kombiyil, & yours truly.
Also, big congrats to fellow SU MFA folks, Eric Berlin & David Gustavsen, whose work will appear in this issue!
