The poetry gods must be working extra hard this week. I received a phone call yesterday asking if I would consider coming on as a poetry editor for The Cortland Review. It is one of my favorite journals and I have been reading it for years and my thoughts are today that I will try it for three months and see how it works in with my writing. No matter how it all plays out, it was nice to be asked.

I’ve been thinking a lot about how editors shaped the face of poetry and how really good editors respond and work with writers and I guess the universe it answering my questions. Hopefully this will be a good experience and may I never write really horrible rejections letters.
