K. Rumble: The Collected Works

Okay, what we've all been waiting for links to all the poems, reviews, articles, profiles, and interviews by and about yours totally available here on the 3-dubyas. Thanks to the editors of all these magazines for taking the work!!

(As a side note, over the years submitting and publishing poems in journals has become a regular part of my revision process. I'll write a first draft (usually longhand, sometimes on a manual typewriter), type it into the computer eventually (revising some), come back and revise a little more a couple weeks later, then a few weeks later (about 5 or 6 times a year?) I'll go on a big submission jag, sending out everything I'd consider publishing. During this jag, I again revise before sending. But inevitably when I see the poem printed, I see typically 4 or 5 major changes I wish I'd made. It's like I see it for the first time. So I go back to the doc and revise the poem again. Usually that's the end; a few minor changes after that but not much. So the publishing of my poems is a fairly major part of my composition/revision process. Sometimes when I see the poems, I'm really chagrined by them. But most of the time, I don't get too hung up on wishing I could still change something. Most of the time even, I like that there are possibly two (or more) versions of my poems out in the world. Most of the poems I submit are part of book length projects (chap and other); with some luck, some of them will be published eventually. So the books will have the "final" drafts of the poems, and the journals will have something like a b-side version. I always dig seeing a poet's various drafts, the move from one word to another; I hope others might get the same pleasure from comparing the journal and book versions.)
