Hello friends, readers, and fellow poets,
Since my last Update From the Author way back in January 2019, which you can read and enjoy here, so much has happened.
In March, I was published in Blink Ink, a journal dedicated to micro-fiction. The theme? Robots and AI. Perfect for someone like myself who is pursuing both a career in writing and one in the sciences.
In April, I was honored for a poem of mine to be published in Cowboys & Cocktails: Poetry from the True Grit Saloon.
Later on in the year, I was published in Willawaw Literary Journal with the poem “Transit.” (Click on the hyperlink and scroll down for my poem.) In the same month, I was published in Paragon Press’s The Martian Chronicle with two poems – “The Persistence of Memory,” (one of my personal favorites) as well as “Song of the Strawberry Moon.”
I was #amwriting all summer as well – I finished the second book in my Kingdom Come Trilogy. The third book is still putting up a bit of a fight as I try to wrangle it onto the page, but I am confident it will be done by the middle of next year, if not sooner.
I hope to see more publications in the coming months and in the new year. I will keep you updated!
As always, I’d like to end by acknowledging some of my muses, fans, and supporters, which include my mother, my best friend, and my adoptive grandmother, all of whom make life worth living and encourage me to be my best self and to make meaning through words and metaphor and literature.
Thank you,
Caitlin Cacciatore
