Yes, indeed it is! In the wee hours of the morning, Jess and I toasted the launching of
our second Fall issue with cold spicy tea (Pumpkin for her, Soho Spice for me) and much blinking and sighing and glee. It's our biggest issue yet, with poems by Mike Allen, Peg Aloi, M. Robert Bond, Robert Borski, Jennifer Crow, Marlo Dianne, J. T. Glover, John M. Hauer, Alex Dally MacFarlane, Katharine Mills, Corey Mesler, Jamie Lee Moyer, Daniel R. Robichaud, Marcie Lynne Tentchoff and Mary Turzillo. We also really feel that Ollie's outdone himself (again) with this layout, so many mug-clinks to him as well!
Also, now's the time to shout it from the rooftops:
Goblin Fruit was mentioned in Ellen Datlow, Gavin Grant and Kelly Link's Year's Best Fantasy and Horror. We scored a whole paragraph (second one in the Fantasy Poetry overview), and apparently a mantle. This is deeply pleasing, so here's a shout-out to all the fabulous contributors who made it possible!
Happy Fall (enjoy biting those apples!)
Jess and Amal
