Winter 2008 Issue Live, and the Continuing Awesome of Endicott

Rejoice and make merry, for the Winter 2008 Issue of Goblin Fruit is live!

We've stocked up for the winter where poems are concerned, because we've got not nine, not twelve, not sixteen, but twenty-two poems this issue. Featured are Jennifer Crow, JoSelle Vanderhooft, J. C. Runolfson, Sonya Taaffe, Lucinda Lawson, Maureen McQuerry, Anca Vlasopolos, Katharine Mills, Robert Borski, Joshua Gage, C. S. MacCath, Caitlyn Paxson, Stacy Cowley, Clare Walker, Claire Cooney, Sophanny Marin, Ann K. Schwader and Marcie Lynn Tentchoff.

I'd also like to announce that we've started up an LJ community for Goblin Fruit, because, you know, LJ-ers are a talkative lot, and we love to see people talking about the poems. We wanted, in our first issue, to have that be the main purpose of the Forums we've since scrapped, but alas, t'was not to be -- so hopefully, if any of you are full to bursting with delight about the issue (or brimming with blackest rage, who knows) you'll be able to vent your passions there. It is not yet pretty, but it is there to be joined, and shall soon be posted upon.

Further, Midori Snyder has graciously reviewed the issue up on the Endicott Blog. Special mentions go to Maureen McQuerry, J. C. Runolfson, Sonya Taaffe, Claire Cooney and Joshua Gage. Congratulations to you all.

So go forth and feast! Fatten yourselves up for the rest of the winter!
