Lycan Lore Received with Two Woofie Poems; Rhysling Antho with One for the Vamps

The one two punch of books received!  Today’s mail brought a much anticipated copy of LYCAN LORE (see July 29), new publisher Source Point Press’s selection of werewolf poetry and short fiction.  My dogs in this pack are in the poetry section, “Running” concerning the joys of “going native” and “Cruella” about old habits dying hard.

Then yesterday afternoon the Science Fiction Poetry Association’s 2014 RHYSLING ANTHOLOGY had arrived, having taken some time in preparation, with my vampire poem, “The Specialist” (cf. April 12), originally published in the June 2013 DISTURBED DIGEST.  In this poem a vampire explains her true purpose in The Great Scheme of Things.

The RHYSLING ANTHOLOGY has its own special purpose as a presentation of nominees for the Rhysling Award that SFPA members can use in their voting.  However, the anthology is also offered to the general public, with more information available here.
