First piece of good poetry news: l ast weekend I finished the last piece for   Catechesis , my first full-length poetry collection! It is a total of 27 poems and 12 poem-collages: fairytale-girl poems,  Silence of the Lambs  poems & collages, and   Alien   poems & collages. I'll give the manuscript a little breathing room, and then I'll start looking for open calls at presses. Second piece of good poetry news: my poem "Wait a minute, there's movement. It seems to have life —organic life" has been accepted for publication in the Spring 2018 Issue of Passages North ! This is the first out of my six Alien  poems to be taken by a literary magazine, so it is very encouraging for the rest of the series. Riding the high of this acceptance, I've just submitted the remaining five poems to another crop of journals. After nearly four years of working on this manuscript, it's a very strange feeling to be finished. I've been entirely project-focused
