Poetry!

How exciting is publishing two days in a row??  Evidently, a rainy and chilly New York City is great for productivity.

So, I'm very pleased to present two poems from Elana Seplow: "Maps" and "Awaker."  Her bio:

Elana Seplow is a native New Yorker and a poet.  A Columbia and Oxford graduate, she is the recipient of the 2009 Burns Society Prize and the Helene Searcy Puls Poetry Prize.  She has a firm handshake with a too-quick release.  She is, after all, a young professional.  

And in other news: the Table of Contents now links to the pieces, which makes the site much more navigable (especially as it continues to grow) and makes me very very happy.  Happy Tuesday,
