Black Box Poetry Prize:

WHY DIDN'T I KNOW ABOUT THIS SOONER??? Something to light a fire under my ass. With the deadline coming in hot at the end of June, a manuscript submission would probably kill me. Perhaps next year, though, I will have to ask around about these sorts of contests. A person should probably not get themselves into these situations without knowing jack about the publishing house.
But Joe just told me that chapbooks, unlike manuscripts, usually run 20-40 pages which could be manageable in the next two months or so, and could be good to focus on for grad applications, my health, etc. But what is a chapbook!? haha. Just another thingy to look up for reference. Chapter book? Chapstick book? Or is "chap" in reference to your buddy like "jolly good, ol' chap"? Gotta be that one.
Today, I slept all day in Amsterdam. To the point where my friend jostled me awake and asked if I was okay. She also called me "honey" and looked at me with a face which meant she was really concerned. After the London debacle, though, I didn't care, I slept and slept and slept and ate those European strawberries that taste like gold and then slept some more, because why the hell not, really. Today was already a successful day because of finding the Romanticism books at Amsterdam University. Duncan Wu just follows me wherever I am and I'm like, alright already I get the picture, but I'll relent and dig in, lean in, as everyone is saying nowadays, probably in reference to some dumb TED talk. But lean in, I will, may as well with this time, sink my teeth in, take a bite, chew the fat, gnaw it down, gnash it up, to the bone, suck each finger, have a nap.
Anyway, whatever, I'm gonna try to write some poetry.
