Have You Been Published?

[Todd]

Yes, I've been published some. I was very active pursuing it twenty years ago. I have been less active as I've went along. A lot of my early credits were more due to persistence and networking than any level of talent at the time.

I published maybe 4 poems (which I've tried to forget) in these journals: Twisted Nipples (renamed later World's Too Heavy Press, Curmudgeon, and a few in the Penny Dreadful Review. If I recall the titles were: Liquid Love, Hate Crime, Pretty, Pretty, and Prince Charming...Utterly forgettable.

There was a gentlemen I met who was published a collection of poets on the Internet he reached out to me and I had the following poems included in the collection (which I have posted here):

Howard and the Details
Premature
Logos

Two I haven't put on here:
On That Day
Signifying Nothing

The cool thing about this collection was I was told it was being taught in one of the small colleges in Mississippi.

Then I got asked to include poems for an anthology on Fairy Tale Retellings.

I got these poems published that have appeared here:

Hood
You Call Them Fairy Tales
A Queen Considers Her Options

The woman who pulled that collection together is a fantastic poet whose work I respected so I didn't mind saying yes.

I mostly don't look to publish anything but that's what I've done recently.
