Neli Moody
I am writing lots of poems, essays, stories, and a YA novella and awaiting
word from various potential publishers. Have sent out a couple of mss. I
will be teaching Composition  in the fall
and in the spring, 2011-2012. My
essay ""A Syntax of Stones: Pre-Text, Edifice, and the Sacred Space in
Richard Berengarten's’ 'Avebury'" was published by Salt Publications in the
UK as part of its Companion text to Richard's work Spring, 2011
. That essay
appeared in the July issue of
Jacket Magazine this year. My poem "Full
Worm Moon" was  in the Spring issue of the
 Adirondack Review.
"Concord" will appear in the annual edition of Reverie, and "Akilter" will
appear in
Black Mahogany, Spring 2012.
