Alright, it’s been a while! Let’s get right to it!
Check out the gorgeous cover art for Welcome to Midland, my debut collection forthcoming in August 2021 from Deep Vellum Publishing! You can pre-order now! Big thanks to my wife, Ash, for making the art. Can’t wait to share this book with y’all.
In other news, Inner Moonlight at the Wild Detectives went on hiatus after the videos I curated celebrating our second anniversary back in April. As of December 2020, we are back! I’ve turned the reading series into a podcast you can access pretty much wherever you get your podcasts! I kept our old schedule of the second Wednesday of every month. Each episode is reading and conversation with one brilliant writer. In December, I featured long-time friend and poet, Dani Quesenberry. In January, you’ll hear from Dallas poet Brittany Griffiths, who featured me on her Point of Departure podcast in 2019. Join me every month for more! Big thanks to the Wild Detectives for the continued support.
We’re always taking submissions and putting out issues over at Voicemail Poems. You know you wanna call us up.
Back in November, I taught another round of ekphrasis via Zoom for the Writer’s Garret, and executive director Aaron Glover made me blush by saying, “I can't say enough good about Logen Cure, not least that she is a friend, but also especially relevant, that she is a deeply thoughtful educator. We've offered this workshop before, and are offering again because it's so good, so join us!” I imagine I’ll have another workshop forthcoming with them, so I’ll keep you posted!
I’m fixing to start the Spring 2021 semester at Tarrant County College South, which means I’ll be making another issue of Script with students. This will be my first time making the magazine completely online. I’m looking forward to it! Teaching this course is always such a joy. Wild Detectives contributor, Katy Dycus, reached out to me at the top of the pandemic and included me in this article, “Book People in the Time of COVID,” where I just talk about how great my students are.
That’s it for now! I’ll come back around after a while with more good news for y’all. Take care out there!
