November Mysteries

Posted by Daniela Elza on Apr 19 2024

November Mysteries (written with Brian Brett) has been accepted for publication by The Malahat Review. It is forthcoming in the Summer issue, 2024. They will include some process notes. Even though Brian is no longer with us, I think he would have been pleased to see this poem come out.

This will also be my debut appearance in the pages of this literary journal.

November Mysteries is one of dozens of poems that have come out into the world from a manuscript of poems written-between-two. I have written with over 30 collaborators. Each of the poems comes with process notes. Ten of the poems were published 2020 in slow erosions. All the poem in the chapbook are written between myself and poet Arlene Ang.

This project began in 2009.  The full manuscript is still looking for a publisher. If you know someone who is interested, do let me know, would love to talk to them.
