The first stretch goal has been hit!

So I get to show off the reward, fantastic character art by artist Cristiana Leone that will be added to the pages of the Special Edition of 'Call of the Black Wing', available only through kickstarter.

Poetry Submission Guidelines How to submit poetry.

I'm reading poetry subs at Strange Horizons this month. You can submit up to 6 speculative poems in a single file or separate files. I recommend separate files, because we allow simultaneous submissions and it's easier to withdraw individual poems. Guidelines: strangehorizons.com/submit/poetr...
