Apparently I'm not a very good blogger by the looks of the last update to this blog spot. I don't mean to be a bad blogger; it just happens. Maybe if the name was different--blogging sounds bleary and oh so heavy and slow. Being a blogger sounds too close to being a slogger which sounds so exhausting!
"Slow" does partially describe the pace at which I've tended to my blog spot, but there's some news on the near horizon that inspired me to give an update here. Finally, it looks like the new website is very close to going live!
Right now, the new domain host is trying to resolve an issue with pointing to the new server name and IP address. Then, I've been told it takes up to 24-48 hours for the name servers to propagate, whatever that means. As I've been working to create this new website, a seemingly endless number of possible tech glitches have found me trying to slog my way through--I'm a slogger through the forest of information technology--nettles, poison oak, thistles, thorns, quicksand. Am I feeling a bit over-dramatic here? Yes! Only because I think I see the light filtering in at the edge of the forest, and I'm hoping to go live with the new Yarroway Mountain Press website in the next few days! Exciting!
The new website includes lots of links to some amazing poets' and artists' work. We're expanding our market to include some other unique art as well as published writing. I hope you take a look. But, don't look yet. All you'll find is a message that says the website has been suspended while we wait in limbo for the tech stars to align. Harsh!
I'll keep you posted. Happy trails in the meantime.

Now available!
We are excited and proud to announce the release of Cadence of Hooves: A Celebration of Horses on June 27th, 2008!
Congratulations to over 170 contemporary poets whose poetry appears within this remarkable collection of poetry.
There is an undeniable physicality to these poems. Like the horses that inhabit them, these poems possess great weight and power. They are the muscle, the heart of what it means to be human and interconnected to the natural world through a network of relationships deeply rooted in history--a world in which the horse has occupied a central and recurring role.

Review copies sent!
Oh, my...has it really been that long since the last "blog?" Seems as if the details involved in getting Cadence of Hooves to the final print stage have kept me preoccupied. It's been time well spent, though, as I'm confident you'll agree when you see the finished collection which includes the work of such extraordinary poets.
Review copies are circulating, and we hope to have some excellent word back soon, setting us up for a late spring publication date. Oh, and I have postcards that feature the cover; if you'd like some, email me, and I'd be happy to send them to you.
There are several Cadence contributors who are in the process of researching and organizing possible reading venues in their geographical regions. If you're interested in doing the same or in participating in a reading in your area, email me for details.
Until then, I trust your lives are well.
Sending best wishes for your continued creative ventures.

At last!
The selections for Cadence of Hooves: A Celebration of Horses are finalized. There were so many, many fine submissions. I thank you all for your patience while the reading and selection process was underway.
The collection is truly extraordinary, and I can't wait to share it with you.
I am aiming for a December 2007 publication date; however, this is necessarily provisional at this point. I've learned that working with "provisional" is a good thing--most especially in order to keep the best interest of the anthology in mind.
It's not too soon to start considering venues for public readings and other horse-related events where we can offer Cadence of Hooves. Feel free to post your suggestions.
Oh, and Nik Linsteadt, a recent graduate of California State University, Chico has the Yarroway Mountain Press website up and running:

Happy Earth Day!
Here's another update:
Though this update looks similar to the last update, we really are making progress!
We are still considering submissions for the final manuscript of Cadence of Hooves: A Celebration of Horses.
There was an overwhelmingly positive response to the calls for submission; therefore, the initial provisional publication date has necessarily been changed.
This is all very exciting as we consider close to 1,000 submissions. I am dedicated to ensuring that thoughtful consideration is given to each poem. This is a lengthy but gratifying process--the writing is so amazing.
Thank you for your patience and support in the meantime.
Stay tuned for further updates.
