Busy with entering contests and the like, I glanced back at my mailbox and saw a letter from Kelsay Press (American Fork, Utah) accepting The Ones with Difficult Names. I sent them the book on January 16th. If you hit, you hit fast. I am very happy about this. The poems seemed solid, even wonderful, to me, but somehow the book kept getting passed by. Great joy. I will wait the hours until noon before a start drinking celebration.
