Since I'm wishing to get back into poetry again, writing it, entering contests, seeking publication, etc., I bought a copy of the Poet's Market 2009 last week. I was browsing through it last night and most listings include "has published poetry by ____". I was surprised to see my name in one of these listings. Yes, my name in black and white at the top of page 169. KotaPress mentioned me, and it's been years since I published anything with them. I had a few poems, articles, and book reviews published there about 4 or 5 years ago. I can't remember everything I had published there since it was an online market and the site appears to be "down" (don't know if it's just down for the moment or no longer exists).
Anyway, I thought that was pretty cool. Plus, it gives me an extra boost that makes me want to get back into poetry/writing again.
My name might even be listed with KotaPress in past editions of the book, I don't know. Anybody here got any older editions (2005-2008, maybe) that they can check for me? Thanks.
And if anyone wants me to check anything in the 2009 edition, just let me know (sending a PM would be best).

Nice work!
