Poem Published!

With the exception of my college literary magazine, this is my first published poem. I'm so excited I could pee. However, the topic at hand is more serious than what I've written about so far. The poem is called "The First Cooking Accident," and I wrote it after reading some anonymous first-hand accounts by Afghan women on a Web site called Afghan Women's Writing Project, and watching several news reports on the matter.
