Well, yesterday was another hard day at the office– 3 full hours were put in, nose to the grindstone. Rough life, I tell ya.
In truth, I feel monumentally lucky to have landed this graduate assistantship: my hours are beyond flexible; I have the greatest boss, ever, of all the times; and I get to work on a project that I feel really proud of and have come to enjoy immensely. The poetry magazine, Illuminations, is teeny-tiny, but attempting to emerge with a larger, fresher voice in the land of contemporary poetry. I have had such a great time sorting through submissions, learning about people who just want to share their craft, and being a major part of the team.
Issue 28 will hopefully be released in May, June at the latest, and if you feel so inspired you should definitely subscribe. I know poetry isn’t everyone’s favorite genre, mostly because people find it intimidating, but I believe it is completely worth investigating. The poems included in this collection are very reader-friendly and have inspired many an introspection, though nothing to hurt yourself over. For a mere $15 for two issues you will not only refill your creative reservoir, you will also get to see my name in print next to the title, Assistant Editor. Whoa! Hey-o! Big time.
So, subscribe here.
I promise, it won’t hurt.
