Volume I Issue 2 launched, plus journal/contributor news

Poemeleon Volume I Issue 2 has just launched, so please do check it out.

It's a feast for the mind -- and the eyes. Just click on the link(s) at the end of each poem to view the artwork that the poem is responding to. There are also a few surprises in there -- it's not just limited to paintings.

Three contributors have recently released books:

larry bauer (Volume I Issue 1), health insurance and other matters of death, from Foothills Publishing; 

Sheila Black (Volume I Issue 1), How to be a Maquiladora, from Main Street Rag press; and

Alex Grant (Volume I Issue 2), Chains & Mirrors, from Harperints. Congratulations!

Lastly, Poemeleon limited edition chapbooks -- featuring work from Volume I Issue 1, which was dedicated to place -- are now available for purchase online at $5/each including s&h. 

These are the poems that were read during the launch reading in July (see navigation sidebar for a link to the photos), including work by Maureen Alsop, larry bauer, Lavina Blossom, Gayle Brandeis, Wendy Taylor Carlisle, Chella Courington, Catherine Daly, Lucia Galloway, Bob Hicok, Judy Kronenfeld, and Ren Powell. 

I only have a limited quantity left, and they will never be reprinted. All proceeds go toward the production costs of Poemeleon.
