SageWoman Magazine has accepted a truncated version of my poem "Thoughts on Fire" for publication in their upcoming December issue.
Because there are legal ambiguities as to whether posting a poem on AuthorsDen constitutes previous publication, I have removed this poem from my site as Sage Woman requires first worldwide rights.
Following is some information regarding Sage Woman Magazine (http://www.sagewoman.com/media.htm).
