The first I've waited about a week to tell you. Last summer I mentioned that the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute was putting together an anthology for the class of 2012. Well, they've finally finished it!QUARTZ FOUNTAIN includes three or four poems from each student as well as their portrait. I'm the third person in because we're organized in alphabetical order. Three of my poems are included-two I read at a performance while at OSAI and one I chose. It is available in paperback for ten dollars. Purchase links are on my Publications page if you would like to check it out further.
While I am very excited about my anthology, that's not the end of my good news!
It's funny because the piece I wrote for OVERCOMING ADVERSITY: AN ANTHOLOGY FOR ANDREW was a part of my writing sample for my audition for the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute this year. Here's to hoping it lives up to its name and overcomes the adversity that is being chosen to attend this camp once more!
YAY!!! All great news, two anthology placements to your name. :) Well done!
ReplyDeleteI know! It makes me smile to see my Publications page growing. :) I saw you posted about the OVERCOMING ADVERSITY anthology as well. I'll have to check out your post more in-depth.
DeleteCongrats on being in TWO anthologies! Well done for getting into that Arts Institute - Quartz Fountain sounds great. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. ^^ Both for the comment and for this wonderful anthology. I have purchased my Kindle copy and can't wait for the paperback (I'm a physical kind of person).
DeleteAnd yes, OSAI is a very fun place that I really enjoyed attending. :)
That's great, Brooke! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
Thanks, Clar. ^^ I'll try.
