A story of mine titled "The Short Story" was accepted for the current edition of the online journal Exquisite Corpse. I submiited it almost two years ago and had forgotten about until I received word that it was to be published. Exquisite Corpse is located in New Orleans and like almost everyone else its business was disrupted by Katrina. This is the first issue since the storm.

To see the story go to:

http://www.corpse.org/content/view/71/1/

or go to my Lit.Org profile and click on the link.

p.s.

I posted the story on Lit.Org on 1/19/05. It was titled "About Dad".

Hi John. Had a few minutes this morning so thought I'd look in.

I don't usually read this type of blog but it did so today. Glad I did. I followed the link to your story and found it beautiful and heartbreaking. I've often written of never meeting my father so I envy those who had theirs - even if for a short time.

Congratulations on the story being accepted.

Read it
Like it a bunch. It is so disjointed even though the theme is solid. It is a real shapshot of a person's life, or the lives of a few people connected to that person, from one person's perspective. It jumps around in just the right places to span a number of years and all the while the first lines

my father was a minor beat poet
he spent his entire adult life
on the head of a needle
around the corner from city lights

is a mirror image of the last lines about Richard committin suicide -- it closes the loop there and exposes the writers' lives. How both had an impact on your own.

Very well done.

Hello Johnjohndoe
Thought I'd look you up to see if you had given up on this screwed-up-for-so-long place. Hope not.

You've been very good to me. Your so appreciated.

Am very happy to read of your publication. I will go to it now and read. How did that turn out?

Later
