My poem, “Magnolias”, published in The Camel Saloon this past April, was picked as an editor favorite (thanks, Russell!), to be placed in Volume 3 of their companion site, The Second Hump. This is great, as front page poems soon fall into the archival abyss, and don’t get read much. You can check out my poem, and other poems by Laura Behr, Amy Soricelli, Brian Wake, Stephen Jarrell Williams, and Jeremy Marks, at this link:

Also, if you haven’t already, check out The Camel Saloon main site at http://thecamelsaloon.blogspot.com/. I promise you’ll love the fine mix of poetry, prose, photography, and other goodies, and enjoy a warm welcome from editor/barkeep Russell Streur. It’s a real community over there, so please do visit them. I need to get back over there for a visit myself—it’s been a crazy couple of weeks at work! Cheers, Lauren

The poem title is from a quote by poet Conrad Aiken, which you can read about here, if interested:

I heart The Camel Saloon: Last night, I visited the Camel Sports Bar (#1 Yueyang Lu, Xuhui, Shanghai), not only for some pub grub and beer, but to score a photo of the place via the request of Russell Streur, editor over at the literary journal, The Camel Saloon, which has/is publishing some of my poems. Anyway, the magazine showcases various shots of actual camels, but also camel-themed bars around the world, sent in by readers/contributors, so I joined the fun, and sent a couple of shots off to Russell, who’s using one of them as the journal’s new masthead. Pretty cool! Also cool is that my 2011 chapbook, The Breakdown Atlas & Other Poems, is now listed in The Camel Saloon Bookstore, with a link to purchase at Big Table Publishing. Awesome! Please head on over to this literary watering hole, to read some work by its very talented writers, peruse the photos from around the world, and perhaps submit some of your own work. I promise you will love the atmosphere, and enjoy a warm welcome from editor/barkeep extraordinaire, Russell Streur. Here’s a link to the journal. Cheers! http://thecamelsaloon.blogspot.com/
Check it out » Photo Exhibit for The Camel Saloon
Bolivian photo exhibit I did for The Camel Saloon, at the link above. I love editor Russell Streur’s write up (thanks, Russell!):
Dear Saloonatics:
The Cocaine Museum, the Train Graveyard, the Guardian Bird and Grandmother Bowler.
Where do all the good things in life end up?
Bolivia.
And the Camel Saloon is totally delighted today to announce the opening of a new photographic exhibition at the joint: a festive, colorful and all around lovely journey to La Paz, the Salt Flats and all points within shouting distance, created especially for the tavern by the festive, colorful and all around lovely Lauren Tivey.
Please dust off the hiking boots and go climbing with the Shanghai gypsy herself at: http://eyeonbolivia.blogspot.com/
And feel free to stop by the other photography exhibtions, too:

A big thank you to editor Russell Streur.
Super cool time-lapse video of Shanghai—I am in love with this city.
