Announcementy Announcements Last All Autumn Long

[leahbobet]

Two more, because they love to wait until just after I've done an announcements post:

The autumn issue of Goblin Fruit is live! And contains my "Going Back", which I am willing to tell you was written in reply to Theodora Goss's "Pip and the Fairies".

It also contains poetry from sovay, kythiaranos, samhenderson, bachsoprano, seajules, grayrose76, csecooney, Jacqueline West, Ursula Whitcher, Marigny Michel, Marlo Dianne, Joshua Gage, Clare Walker, Susan Moorhead, Kristine Ong Muslim, Corey Mesler, and Rosalind Casey. So really, it's replete with awesome and you should go read it.

Secondly, another review of Clockwork Phoenix from bibliogramma, along with three other Norilana titles:

And finally, an annual themed anthology series devoted to “fantastic literature” (or literary fantasy, whichever you prefer): “works that sidestep expectations in beautiful and unsettling ways, that surprise with their settings and startle with the manner in which they cross genre boundaries, that aren't afraid to experiment with storytelling techniques, and yet seamlessly blend form with meaningful function.” Authors such as Tanith Lee, Ekaterina Sedia, Catherynne Valente, Leah Bobet, Marie Brennan, Vandana Singh, Cat Sparks and John Grant deliver cutting-edge fantasy. Again, I found the anthology a bit uneven, but with more than enough interesting material to justify the purchase, and I’ll be checking out the next volume of this anthology.

ETA: Thirdly, slushmaster reviews "Sonnets Made of Wood", all the way back from the December 2004 issue of Realms of Fantasy, as part of his RoF Retrospectives project.

And in closing, the Dayjob Snack Update, Day Four: Portuguese custard tarts. Because I know you were interested. *g*

Aw, that just makes me THAT much happier to have that poem up -- I absolutely adore that story of Dora's.

Ooh. Those are some good tarts. There's a bakery near my home that serves as a daily temptation.

I am still floundering in trying to catch up and stay up with things online, so I'm just seeing a lot of this, and just read your poem yesterday. Lovely! I love the use of "deathwish-soft".

Also, custard tart, indeed, zomg. Is it anything like a Chinese egg custard, dim sum style?
