Updates and other effluvia...
Yup. That's my new word of the day...
So I have finished my first full year of graduate school, where I have been working on my Masters of Fine Arts in poetry. It has been one of the most challenging and rewarding years of my life. Two more to go. Since I will have most of the summer off I have lined up a few things for myself to do beyond the obligatory hours I will spend on the Xbox 360.
I seriously hope to get some translating done, as I have been picking through a book of poetry by Javier Lentini. That is my top priority. I also hope to finish a chapbook that I have been working on. I plan to get back to my editing duties at three different presses, as I have had to neglect several releases due to my new schedule. Sorry bout that...
I also hope to add more friends to my Facebook and Twitter sites, which have become a good way to disseminate information about my writing to people who get it whether they want it or not. Ha ha. Follow me http://twitter.com/JBruceFuller .

New Releases!!! (Finally)
There's been a bit of a drought around here, and I'd like to think it is due to being so busy with graduate school. I have managed to send out work to a lot of places, and I am slowly hearing back from some. Well, as they say when it rains it pours, and this month several things are being released with my name on them...
First off, The Louisiana Review has come out with their new issue, and my poem "The Frog Kings of Bayou Lafourche" is in it. They were also kind enough to select my poem for their website to promote the issue, and you can read it HERE.
Also two of my poems will be published as broadsides this month by Yellow Flag Press, as part of the Vision/Verse series. Vision/Verse is a collaboration between Louisiana poets and artists, and will open as a gallery show at the Imperial Calcasieu Museum in Lake Charles, LA on May 1st.Yellow Flag Press will have the broadsides for sale on their site May 1st, for $3 each. Each broadside is hand-numbered and signed by the author, and they are very limited editions so try to get one quick. You can have a peek at them here.

Neglect, Among Other Things...
My, my, how time passes... I haven't posted since October, but it seems like I was just on here. Time runs differently in my head I suppose.
Want some J news? Well, here it is.
Lots of things going on in my poetry universe. Most notably, I will be presenting some of my poems at the 8th annual Louisiana Conference on Language, Literature and Culture, March 5-7 in Lafayette, La. My presentation is titled "'27: A Creative Look at Desire in the Great Mississippi Flood." This will be my first academic presentation of my work, so we'll see how it goes. I am looking forward to it. It's high time I pumped up the CV.
I'll also be in Chicago this year for AWP. I'll probably leave behind most of my clothes in the hotel room, to make room for all the books I'm going to buy. I won't need them in the warm, beautiful south anyway. Snow is for suckers.
There is also a TON of publishing stuff going on with Spec House and the all new Yellow Flag Press, but I won't get into that here. I have other blogs for that.
I did my part, now post some comments so I know you are still out there.
