Imagine my surprise last night when I opened a large envelope in the mail to find the most recent issue of The Gay & Lesbian Review–with one of my poems in it!

I never received an acceptance. “Truth Be Told (Either By Me or Someone Else Who Inevitably Speaks Up)” was selected for the issue.

I was pretty happy about it, partially because I’ve been on my deathbed (or an approximation of it) this week with a nasty, nasty cold.
