Dear Eratosphereans:

Ho! Ho! Ho! & Just in time for the Holidays! . . . I’m pleased to announce that the Inaugural Print Edition of Able Muse (Number 10, Winter 2010) is now available in print (through Able Muse Press, here, and from Amazon and elsewhere – ISBN: 978-0-9865338-2-2), and in digital format (at Able Muse, for subscribers), with details and excerpts available at:

http://www.ablemuse.com

The inaugural print edition of Able Muse Review has been much anticipated. It's an issue filled with the usual masterfully crafted poetry, fiction, essays, art & photography, and book reviews that have become synonymous with the Able Muse. Thus, after more than a decade of online publishing excellence, Able Muse begins a bold new chapter with this print edition, highlighting works of the same superlative standard as presented all these years in the online edition, and, the recently released Able Muse Anthology (Able Muse Press, 2010).

                    ". . . [ ABLE MUSE ] fills an important gap in understanding what is really happening in early twenty-first century American poetry."
                                                                                                                                                                – Dana Gioia.

I must say, this is a superb magazine, and not just because I have a review in it. The R.P. Lister interview and Lister's late poems are worth the money (what money?) alone, and then there is Stephen Collington's fascinating stuff on writing classical Chinese poetry and John Beaton's poem and... The cover photograph's great too.

Thanks for the recommendation, John.
