“My daughter told me that six was her favorite age but that she was very excited to become a seven-year-old. The particular number seemed so central to her developing sense of self.” —Michael Dumanis @MichaelDumanis

Thank you to @randallmannpoet and @POETSorg for selecting my poem “Sehnsucht” for their Poem-a-Day series today.
The economy continues to show resilience in the face of despair and mass depredation. My daughter is swan. Is crab grass run riot. Meanwhile, I am becoming unrecognizable to everyone except myself. . . ––Michael Dumanis @MichaelDumanis

In response to the Trump administration rescinding our NEA grant, please consider helping @BennReview @AtBennington
We need your help! The government has abruptly withdrawn Bennington Review's hard-won $10,000 NEA grant to publish innovative, intelligent, and moving literature. Your support in helping us recoup the lost funds would make all the difference. https://t.co/hFTXax2iXr

Bennington Review opens for poetry and fiction submissions again on Monday January 6th. Not reading nonfiction at the moment, but hopefully we will be able to have a nonfiction reading period in a few months.
