Book Banter page

Photo of my page in Book Banter, an e-journal. 

The call was for an excerpt from a first book so I sent a handful of poems and they accepted this one, 'The Queen of Tea.' They didn't tell me it was accepted until I got the proof in my email and the poem was laid out wrong. At least I had a chance to correct it. I didn't know when it would be published so I looked online the other day and there it was. Except it's an online journal you must purchase to read. I emailed and said I was disappointed. Two days later she replied with reasons they don't make print issues, and why they can't let people have free e-issues. She said I should have received a photo of my page as it appears in the journal but she included it in case I'd missed it. This is the photo, which is very nice I must say. I replied, no, I never got this until just now. I have a feeling I never would have gotten it had I not been persistent. If you wish to purchase the journal, the information is at the top of the picture. I'm glad I at least have this photo and, of course, it's in my book, Questions I Didn't Know I'd Asked.
