Poet of the Week and Chapbook Release!

-
Major poetry news here! This week, I was named Poet of the Week by Rick Lupert's PoetrySuperhighway.com . You can go to there to read three of my poems that were selected: "Eleven: Evenings and Endings;" "Four: Dinner-Time Discussions;" and "Three: Afternoon Assessment." I was especially happy to be selected as Poet of the Week because I know for a fact that I tried three times to get on that site in college and alas, could not. I guess I learned something in the last 8 years :)

Second big announcement! I am releasing my first ever chapbook of poetry. I am self-publishing this book because I want to get it out to those who want it - fast, cheap and easy :) Or shall I say, inexpensively:


I'll be adding a link on the site for pre-ordering the book, and will let you know as soon as it is available for purchase!

I am very excited to share this book with all of you, and hope you will find it interesting! Thank you for all of your inspiration, support and also a lot of fun. More to come, as the waiting continues!

    CONGRATULATIONS! I am so excited for you, and so so so in agreement that you are definitely the "poet of the week" (year, decade, etc!).

    You know I'll be first in line to purchase your chapbook. I plan to keep it around for later when you're a famous poet/author/playwright/director with new lungs and I can say, "yeah, well I readd her Unblog!"

    Kudos for a well-deserved round of amazing news!

    Yay! I can't wait to get my very own copy. And you - without a doubt - deserve the "Poet of the Week" award (or as Piper said, month, year, decade...)

    I already submitted my reservation. =)

Let me thank you for the nice comments on my first guest blog on Cystic Gal.  I am also grateful to be able to have a forum to share these experiences. As such, I thought I'd write a follow-up.  There is another side to this story.  I will attempt to tell my version of it without using too many cliche's, but it may be hard because love is the most written and talked about topic in the history of the world. Love is a wonderful part of life.  I think I can go so far as to say, it is the reason for life.  It is indeed a real shame to go through such lengths as a lung transplant to continue living, to then deny yourself the chance for love.  The same way that I weighed the risks vs. rewards of a lung transplant, is the way that I have to weigh the risks vs. rewards of love. I have said before that I'd do everything again, the whole year of dying, the surgery, the recovery, for just one of those days after transplant that I didn't have to think about breathing.  Not

Hello CGers!!! It's me. Boldly, bravely, I let my Dad bring me my laptop for tonight. I have been enjoying a computer hiadus, but wanted a little time to write to you y'all and doodle on internet. Who knew I could go a whole month without my laptop? WHO KNEW!? Well, I've been busy. And tomorrrow is already my transplantiversary!! ( one month). My surgery started on July 27th and ended on July 28th! I know there is a lot to explain about all that has happened but I'm not gonna handle all that tonight. Just recent news and such. So, it looks like I hope to get out of the hospital next week if we can finally figure out everything with my lymphatic system. I started eating this week, and long and short, it agravated my lymphatic system a bit, again. (Not at all like before, but still, there was fluid retention and other random details.). So, 4 more day of IV nutrition and clear liquids for me, and then we'll try, I don't know, eating again. The IV nutrition keeps m
