Acceptance!

Dear Don Kingfisher Campbell, 

Thank you for submitting your poetry to the anthology, UNSINKABLE: POETRY INSPIRED BY THE TITANIC. We would like to accept “Queen Mary.” In some cases, we will make necessary copyediting changes and contact authors about suggested edits.

As we mentioned, we are planning to publish the anthology with Salmon Poetry Press with a pub date in 2026. As soon as possible, we would greatly appreciate it if you could email us a bio of 50-100 word to this address. We will soon email a permission form which is required for your poem’s publication, and we will ask for an updated bio, if necessary, closer to the pub date.

Each contributor will receive one copy of the anthology. We have begun to work on setting up Unsinkable poetry readings, and if you have any ideas for such events in your geographic area or anywhere else, please let us know. We are also developing a marketing plan, and if you have any ideas, please let us know.

Thank you for your participation in this project.

Best regards,

Margo Taft Stever, Sandy Yannone, and Susana H. Case

Had a wonderful time interacting with this group yesterday over eight of my poems (The Gap*, A Poem Is**, The Joshua Parade***, Serious Cloud Bank***, Your Precious Love, Fencing, Skunk and Seal, and Just) and introducing them to my very inspirational poet friends *Tanya Ko Hong, **Linda Ravenswood, and ***Alexis Rhone Fancher who read some of their fine poetry as well. As a bonus I also introduced them to the marvelous Ellyn Maybe who was in the audience, and she read one of her besties too. (Asterisks indicate who inspired me to write which poems.)

I screenshared titles from the seven sections of my new book A Poem Is and invited members of the audience to select which ones they wanted to read and hear. They chose: Stellar Sonnet, Appreciation, C.A.T., What better way to eat on Mother's Day..., The pantoum rose this morning, and Xmas. For a requested encore I read my newest poem, March 11th, and followed that with a peek at the Four Feathers Press online edition for this month, Pie Sighs; I shared and read my poem on there, Do you sigh when you eat your pie?
