The slightly delayed release of New Coin’s first issue for 2013 finally arrived in my postbox the other day and I was ecstatic to see my poems featured so prominently. 🙂  No, it wasn’t just because my surname starts with “A” – I had that thought for a moment, too, upon opening the journal.
Here is a link about the current editor and what he says of the issue: Vonani Bila.
Subscribe to NEW COIN. Why? Because you get to read amazing poetry from South Africa! I’ve been informed that my work has also been accepted for the December 2013 issue… (Jim does a silly dance). This means I have better chances of winning the DALRO Award again hahahaha – yeah, keep wishing, Jim!
Here’s one of my poems in the June 2013 issue… one of four poems.
Subscribe and you get to read all four and a whole lot of other great poetry from South Africa! More great news to come in the next few days/weeks, so please keep visiting this little blog. Better yet, make me happy and consider purchasing my books from UST PUBLISHING HOUSE:
Baha-bahagdang Karupukan (shortlisted for the National Book Award)
and forthcoming … Kalmot ng Pusa sa Tagiliran
… end of self-promotion. Please move toward the EXIT in an orderly fashion. 😛
