Welcome to Poetry Friday.  I am so thrilled to be hosting.  It feels like there's a lot of good things happening in our poetry community of late. This month, What Is a Friend?, edited by Sylvia Vardell and Janet Wong was published this month.  My author copies arrived this week.

This past Tuesday, October 25, 2022, The Poeming Pigeon, 12th edition published.  It has my poem, "A Story While Chopping Onions" in it.  The journal is sumptuous! I am thrilled and honored to be among such wonderful writers and editor, Shawn Aveningo Sanders is an encouraging editor.

Wonderful to see both your publications, Jone. Congratulations. I've seen many friends who have poems in 'What is A Friend?' but 'The Poeming Pigeon' is new to me. Your poem sets the scene wonderfully. Ah, the intrigue of some meetings! Intertwining onions and orchids, hmmm. Thanks for hosting!

So excited for you, Jone, on your recent publications and the reading-in-person soon! I can feel the pulsing in the repeated "Your temple pulses" in Chopping Onions...

And many thanks for welcoming me to the poetry chats this week!

Congratulations Jone! What exciting news. I love your poem in The Poeming Pigeon. The bit “I gave her the onion” really struck me.

Oh, Jone. Your poem. I reread it a couple of times and was struck by all of the people in it. You do so much with these few lines, and the circle layers the feelings. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Congratulations on so much good news, and thank you for hosting! xo

Laura Purdie Salas link
10/28/2022 04:47:48 am

Congratulations, Jone! That journal looks gorgeous, and your onion poem is so evocative. That blooming orchid! I just got my author copy of What Is a Friend and hope to open it up this weekend! Thanks for hosting, Jone (who I confess I still think of as MsMac).

So happy you're hosting today, and big congrats on your publications! Nothing better than author copies in your hands!

Jone, your poem took my breath away! It's so stunning how it put me in the moment. The refrain slows the moment down and adds so much to the emotion. Nice work. I got my copy of the journal yesterday. Congratulations!

Karen Edmisten link
10/28/2022 06:50:18 am

Jone, congratulations on publication in both books! How wonderful. "A Story While Chopping Onions" stopped me cold, especially the lines about the scar and the nightmares. Packed with memory, emotion, and the bravery of moving forward.

Congratulations, Jone on your publications and poetry readings. You should be proud! Thanks for hosting the round up this week.

Thanks for hosting, Jone! Congrats on the publications! The cover of The Poeming Pigeon is beautiful. I was wondering why "Hold me closer, Tony Danza" was going through my head this morning, and it's because of all the dansas being shared for PF, haha!

Karen Eastlund

Jone: Congratulations on your publishings. The Poeming Pigeon looks fabulous! I would love to win a copy. Thanks for hosting today, and again... hooray!

Thanks for hosting and what a GORGEOUS cover for the Poeming Pigeon. Congratulations on being part of that, and Janet and Sylvia's latest work. Best of luck with your debut reading.

Oh that poem. I would love to hear how all the editing things went. I think I see some newer sections. I love it. Powerful. The faded orchid, the onion that makes you laugh, your gif to her. And so wonderful to be on those pages with you again. Who would have ever thought it, surely not I way back when I was beginning and so excited to be in "your" cabin my first adventure at Highlights!
I have some time this week to catch up on blog posts. YAY. And I love that cover. I am sure your reading will go beautifully. I can't wait to hear more.

Carmela Martino link
10/29/2022 12:13:06 pm

Jone, congrats on your poem in The Poeming Pigeon. It's so powerful. I was especially struck when I got to the line:
Instead, you tell her about the orchid you once nurtured.
Wow.
I just got my copy of What Is a Friend, too. Your Ollie poem in it is perfect for the photo!

Gail Aldous
10/31/2022 05:52:35 am

Jone, such excited news! Congratulations on your poems being in two publications! The cover of the Poeming Pigeon is gorgeous and I love the name! Yay, you get to read your powerful poem aloud! How you show the emotion in these lines spoke to me "A Story While Chopping Onion" in your refrain "The day is cold. Your temple pulses." and in the following lines, "You could tell him your scar lets you know when a storm's is brewing, in a fetal position on the floor during a nightmare" and in "her eye, blooming like a black orchid." And I love that title, too. Excellent writing. I also love your "Ollie" poem in What is a Friend? I love the rhythm; it reads like a song! I'm happy to receive my copies of What Is a Friend, also.
