chapbook-o-rama
I have a diagram, A Magnetically Actuated Exercise and Amusement Device for Use with Cats, up at DIAGRAM, which is fresh.
From what I understand, these lit mags also have new issues up or out, too and I see lots of poet-bloggers:
and as always, No Tell Motel has a new poet every week.
A couple fine poets I actually know in real life, Terri McCord and Carol Peters, have chapbooks coming out from Finishing Line Press. I highly recommend that you pick up their chapbooks so you can have a good swig of poetry.
The Art and The Wait: Terri McCord
Muddy Prints, Water Shine: Carol Peters
And there are a couple poet-bloggers with chapbooks forthcoming from Finishing Line:
After the Poison: Collin Kelley
and Anne Haines‘ chapbook, Breach, is being released too this year but it isn’t up on that site yet.
Yay! I can’t wait to read them!
You can pre-order the chapbooks & if you do so, you get free shipping.
… and I just realized that the Washington Post totally spelled Virgil wrong yesterday throughout that Le Guin review.
(Unless I’m an idiot and Vergil is an alternate spelling I don’t know about. I’m mostly an autodidact haha. Is it?)
If your lit mag is fresh or you have a chapbook coming out, leave a comment.

“Vergil” is an alternative spelling, actually! If I’m not mistaken (I may well be), it showed up somewhere in the 19th century to try to bring the name he’s best known by closer to his actual name (Vergilius), but it never really overtook “Virgil” in popularity.

Thanks for the shout out! I’ve already ordered Carol’s & Collin’s chapbooks.
Also the magnetic cat toy diagram is hysterical! My cats wouldn’t give that thing the time of day, I suspect

Ah I knew someone smarter that me would know about that Virgil thing.

Yes Valerie I thought so too.
I should have known by the title that was a chapbook by Jenni Russell the poet-blogger’– thanks for letting me know, Collin.
