Yesterday I posted a few links to poems of mine and interviews of me that have been in the wonderful online journal Pirene’s Fountain over the last few years. I mentioned that their next issue, due out in October, will be their last online issue. Two of my poems and a review of my upcoming book, Eye of the Beholder will be included. I should clarify that they are not “going out of business.” They are converting to a print journal and creating a print press called Glass Lyre. They are, in fact, also considering ways in which to maintain an online presence as well.
One of their first publications as Glass Lyre will be an anthology of the best poems published in Pirene’s Fountain. This will be an impressive anthology. The title will be First Water, and I feel honored to have four of my poems included with work by Kim Addonizio, Malaika King Albrecht, David Caddy, Jane Hirshfeld, Paul Hostovsky, Dorianne Laux, Joseph Millar, Linda Pastan, Jane Yolen, and many, many more. In fact, it will run about 170 pages in all.
Here is a link to Glass Lyre’s website, one definitely worth bookmarking and keeping an eye on.
