DD, DLD, Pick-o-the-day?? *faints*

Journal Entry: Mon Jun 27, 2011, 4:32 PM
Wow! :faint:

I found out this morning, via a text message from my dear friend Jade that not only had I received a DLD yesterday (I didn't even get a chance to sit down at the computer yesterday, so I didn't even know!) and the DLD "Pick of the Day", but today I got a DD! All for the same deviation--my poem fate. This is my first DD for poetry ever, an event of great significance to me (ask Jade--she knows!). And to have these all happen essentially at once! I'm just overwhelmed!

Thank you =angelStained for both featuring my piece as a DLD and for suggesting it as a DD. My thanks go out to `nycterent as well for giving me the DD today.

Lastly, but certainly not least, thank you Jade for inspiring me, encouraging me and for always believing in me, even when I didn't believe in myself.

Hmmm... when did this journal start to sound like a speech at the Academy Awards? :confused:

:giggle:

I guess I'm just giddy right now!

Anyway, unfortunately, it has been a busy day for me in the material world, so I haven't been able to devote much time to replies and thank yous yet. So as a place holder for the moment, I'll say Thank You to each of you who has commented and/or faved my poem!

I feel very honored today! :aww:

Offerings
A Selection Of Poetry
by Jade Pandora

The world marches on, and some things pass by the wayside. I was surprised when Jade told me that the first edition of her very first book, Offerings, became one of those things when the Lulu.com account that it was hosted under was closed. But this just spurred us on to an idea to breathe new life into the volume. And from this enthusiasm is born:


The format closely follows the original edition, but all of the touches that we've learned from the last two books are there. Also, many of the poems have been revised by Jade since the first edition was compiled, and those revisions have been included.

And a whole new cover was designed. :nod:

For those of you who missed out on purchasing Offerings when it was still available, this is your reprieve! You can still get all of those wonderful works, in much the same visual format as the original, in this second edition. For those of you who did secure a copy--well, you now have a collectors item on your hands. Treat it well! But also grab a copy of the new edition to complete your Jade Pandora Collection!

This 61 page collection of 36 poems is available for $5.72 (which, as usual, is cost), so you won't have to scrape together too many pennies to get one of your own.

I also want to thank all of you who have supported Jade's work, either by purchasing one of her books, or by your comments and favorites here on dA. I know for a fact that she deeply appreciates each and every one of you.

-John

Good reviews are bad for poets...



"They tend to confirm one in one's own conceit -- unless they praise what you yourself don't like. Also, they make you self-conscious about your virtues -- just as when you praise a child for some natural charm. Also, they create an underground opposition: applause is the beginning of abuse. Also, they deprive you of your own anarchic liberties -- by electing you into the government. Also, they separate you from your devil, which hates being observed and only works happily incognito."
   --by Ted Hughes to Anne Sexton, 1967

:doh: I'm running a bit behind, John, but thank you so much for adding The Cello's Lament to your :+fav:'s, and for recommending it as a DLD.
