how cool is this? i submitted this poem to a poetry site - and they want to publish it in a book of poetry! PLUS they asked me to submit another poem to be printed in another book - saying that the strength in it showed that it would be appropriate for the book they're printing...

i checked it out completely (including an indepth conversation with the friend that got me onto the site) - and there is no obligation to pay out anything - it's just a showcase thing.... i'm stoked!

but yes, it will cost me a few dollars - i'll buy a copy of the book when it's released!
