…insert verb here. I wasn’t looking/thinking/paying attention when out of the blue, my pal Jo asked, very quietly, if Carolee and I would like to be editors on her beautiful, gorgeous literary journal ouroboros review. I expected fanfare! Loud trumpets! An Ed McMann look-alike at the door with balloons and flowers!
This is a dream come true. Very much like when I stumbled on the building for rent that would eventually become my art studio. I had always daydreamed about opening a children’s art gallery. Then it just happened. Well, I have always daydreamed about being an editor of a literary journal. I have been bugging Carolee for years to start one with me.
The Details…Christine Swint, the other founder (along with Jo) of ouroboros, is heading back to school for her MFA (lucky, lucky!). This led to her very tough decision to step down from editing the journal. Life changes, timing, instant karma…Jo had a need for some assistance and the rest is…well, not history, but (hopefully) a beautiful future!
Please check out the current (and past) issues of ouroboros. It’s gorgeous!
PS: Ironically, I just realized, we are, all three of us…suburban mothers. But we are so much more!
