Nice to see that within just a few days of its release, our newest chapbook is closing in on several Amazon Top 100 lists.

The Goose Liver Anthology is a retelling of Mother Goose in the style of the Spoon River Anthology.

What makes it noticeable is that these Top 100 lists are usually filled with reprints of classics, longstanding reliably-selling titles, etc.

Rarely poetry chapbooks from small indie presses. 😀

Our twenty-third and April issue is live!

With poetry, visual art, a critical essay in our new critique column, and two music tracks.

A reading this Saturday at The Writer's Center with Don Illich, author of Rescue is Elsewhere and Love Poems on Bar Napkins.

Don's books are available on Amazon:

And what would be a poem arranged as a song, one might reasonably ask?

Loreena McKennitt's adaptation of Tennyson's "The Lady of Shalott" is a good example.

We're quite happy with the issue. In addition to our usual poetry and art, we also have a critical essay and - new for us - music tracks.

Speaking of which, the June issue is open for music tracks. Any genre. Poems arranged as songs would be on point.

Right on schedule, our April issue is full!

The last few acceptances will go out this week.

And that means we're now open for the June issue:

It's best to submit early.

An excerpt of an early review by Grace Cavalieri, Maryland's Poet Laureate:
