Words Forthcoming in the Delinquent Issue 14

The best acceptance letters.

"Good work as ever! We’re pleased to say we’ll be printing “My concept is: Homage” and “The suns fall at zero” in issue 14 of the delinquent.

Congratulations!

Air Raid - Josef Čapek

After a brief reorientation course, followed by a medical, social networks and so on, you’ll remember that here at the delinquent we pride ourselves on a mind-melding, collegiate, dynamic and motivated team-building, combined with innovative text-based solutions.

Please study your copies of the staff handbook, staff codebook and staff jokebook. Presentation skills and core competencies must be available for inspection at all times.

Etc.

Multi-disciplinary ethos.

& esteemed officers of assurance.

We were greatly impressed with your comportment, deportment, aplomb, and we hope you’ll continue to send us your work."

"My concept is: Homage" as inspired by, and translated by, Tomás Browne. Tomás is a genius poet from Chile who may be working in the garden outside your house as you read this.

Poet gets words published

Keep an eye out for The Delinquent 13 which will include: Real Gone Lee-on and The Way We Go; two poems by me, your poet in the Can.

This image has nothing to do with

the Delinquent magazine

While you wait check out The Delinquent 12 for poetry, short stories and pictures of space from space.

The Delinquent is a United Kingdom-based journal, support a poet.

Three Poems into the World

I got accepted into The Delinquent in the United Kingdom.

“Thanks for your submissions. We drove a van through the plate glass window and grabbed “Hear the News”, “The Bacterium that Hated Eskimo Joe”, and “My concept is: Care Bears”. Maybe we could have got away with more, but the sirens were screaming for blood.

We’re pleased to say we’ll be displaying these beautiful works in issue 12 of the delinquent”

So they have great acceptance letters while their journal also contains diverse and interesting poetry and short stories, two reasons to buy their magazine.

The other reason to buy their magazine is that I expect every person, all one of you, who accidentally visit this blog, on average twice a day, to buy a copy — in .pdf or hardcopy. Yes, the last reason to buy this magazine is that I expect you to buy the magazine called The Delinquent.

Support your poets, their poems are often about you even when you don’t know it, and on average they make less than musicians and artists while not complaining about it anywhere near as much as either of those two groups of artistic community members.
