How interested are you in language, the act of communicating through an arbitrary set of pre-determined symbols?
Alright folks. Last night was a momentous occasion, and I'm writing a journal to celebrate it/mark it in time. I submitted five of my poems, "House Poem," "The Gypsy Wandered In," "Concerto Starnuto," "Blame Late-Night Nature Shows for This Poem," and "Urinal Etiquette" to Tar River, a prestigious U.S. poetry magazine. This journal is also to kind of let them know, in case they find my poems here, that I'm not a plagiarist. Also, it will help me mark the time til I can say to myself that I've been rejected and submit some of the same poems someplace else.

*How well do you deal with anticipation? disappointment?
