Peeking Cat

THIS IS NOT  BOOK POST!!!
But I do kind of have some cool news to share. As stated in the little bio under the blog title I'm an avid writer a well as reader. Actually to be honest I don't write as much as I'd like but I get stuff out here and there. I hope one day to write a novel (which is super hard omfg) but I also write a lot of poetry. I never really thought of myself as a poet. Poetry just kind of comes out I guess sometimes. When it started accumulating I figured I might as well do something with it. To kind of get my work out there I decided to submit primarily poetry to various literary journals. I've had three poems published and one short story.
A couple days ago I got an acceptance letter to this UK journal called "Peeking Cat Poetry" (which is too perfect). They want a poem I submitted called "For the First Time." Which is really exciting! Yay! Very excite!
If anyone is interested in reading any work of mine that I actually take seriously just get in touch and I'd be more than happy to share some with you.
Okay that's all thanks BYE
Evidence of my excite

Sorry I'm awful (Poetry Book Recommendation)

I've been so busy with work I hardly have time to read so it's taking me forever to finish "Neverwhere." I'm only like five chapters in but of what I've read, I like it.
ANYWAY since I'm taking years to finish books I figure I'll recommend one I've already read that could be a quick read for anyone.
"Egghead: Or, You Can't Survive on Ideas Alone" is a poetry book by Bo Burnham that I absolutely adore. He's a comedian, songwriter, musician, and poet among (probably many) other things. The book is full of quick, witty, smart, and funny poems. He's just so fucking funny and clever it makes me love/hate him in the most confusing way. On top of that he plays with different styles which is like wtf man free verse is hard enough.
Now, I'm not really the poetry type. I like writing it sometimes but I find reading it to be troublesome and to be honest exhausting. This book is perfect for the reader who doesn't think they like poetry.
