| Spring 2012 Issue of Goblin Fruit is Live + Uncanny Twinnings |
[Apr. 24th, 2012|03:09 pm] |
(x-posted from my blog, apologies if you're seeing it twice)
Oyez! The Spring 2012 issue of Goblin Fruit is live! With poems by Adrienne J. Odasso (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92) ajodasso), J. C. Runolfson (seajules), Ruby Sara, Sheila Hassell Hughes, Kathrin Köhler, Ariel Johnson, Jade Ramsey, Amanda Reck, Alexandra Seidel, Sandi Leibowitz, and Rose Fox (rosefox), as well as art by Paula Friedlander. Behold her handiwork:
This issue also sees us welcoming Caitlyn Paxson, LJ's very own sevenravens and Goblin Fruit's Requester of Dresses, on board as Assistant Editor. Look at her. She just suits us like a sleeve.
Caitlyn's been a huge help already, and it gives me great pleasure to recognize her good work in the slushery all official-like.
In other poemic news, I received my contributor's copy of Mythic Delirium #26 today. This was honestly completely unintentional -- especially the MUG:
What a bright alchemy we work.
I've only quickly flipped through MD#26 so far -- but more of Paula's art (and, okay, something in the title) caught my eye and led me to read art_ungulate's beautiful "Triptych: An Offering of Fruit" right away. It's gorgeous, but I am for the moment going to gloss over its many felicities in favour of noting the truly astonishing: ladies and gentlefolk, Mike "Jaded by Katabasis" Allen has published a second poem featuring Persephone. Surely this, more than anything else, is a sign of the end times being nigh.
Enjoy! |

Hello, fantastic fruit-fanciers,
A note to say that the Spring 2012 issue -- which will be our 25th -- is under construction, and will appear in the next week. Travel plans, thesisauri and dissertibeasts are at present contriving to slow our progress, but we shall, as ever, persevere.
Thank you for your patience, and may you navigate this day's luck with lunar grace. Meantime, perhaps a perusal of this triskedekaliad by Marigny Michel from the Fall 2011 might tide you over? |

We have moved beyond beleaguerment of badger-snails. It is here. Behold it.
This issue features work by Lynn Hardaker, Sandi Leibowitz, Lori Lamothe, Shweta Narayan, Wendy Howe, Laura King, Kathrin Köhler, Larry Hammer, Ann K. Schwader, Mari Ness, F. J. Bergmann, Joshua Gage, Kelly Rose Pflug-Back, C. S. E. Cooney, Brock Marie Moore, and Sofia Samatar. I am also completely delighted to see these poems framed in artwork by the incomparable Rose Lemberg, who shows that in addition to being a brilliant poet, editor, and book-maker in her own right, she is also a talented visual artist.
Enjoy. |

Dear readers and contributors,
All joking and badger-snails aside -- we apologise for the unprecedented delay in putting this issue up. In addition to a perfect storm of run of the mill delays, one editor is dealing with serious family emergencies.
Watch this state for further updates, and know that we appreciate your patience more than we can say.
Thank you. |

Dear friends,
It is with regret and fist-shaking that we announce a delay in the launch of the Winter Issue; we are suffering an infestation of badger-snails, and lo, they do gnash their slimy teeth at us whilst impeding our progress.
The issue's estimated time of arrival at this sticky rate is January 20th.
Best,
The Editors |

| Fall 2011 Issue of Goblin Fruit is Live! |
[Oct. 20th, 2011|04:11 pm] |
Oyez, oyez! It is up!
( Entrance graphic beneath the cut to spare the at-work flist some nudity. )
This issue includes a Feature of Neile Graham (neile)'s wonderful poetry, as well as work by Josiah Eikelboom, Ruth Stacey, Nina Pelaez, Nancy Sheng, C.S. MacCath (csmaccath), Dan Campbell, S. Brackett Robertson (aliseadae, Sarah Colona, Marigny Michel, Joseph Harker, Liza Graham, Cheryl Stiles, Erik Amundsen (cucumberseed), Lyn C. A. Gardner, and Joshua Davis.
I'm absolutely delighted to see that more and more of our issues are made up of poets who are new to Goblin Fruit; nine out of sixteen contributors this time around shared their favourite fruit with us. There's also significantly more audio than usual: thirteen brave souls have poured their voices into the aethertubes to read us their words.
Actually, increase has been this issue's general trend; thanks to the Spring's donation drive, we're feeling our way towards larger Tables of Contents again. This makes me deeply happy. It feels like an exhalation after a long spell of held breath.
Special thanks, as ever, to justbeast and Oliver Hunter for layout and art, but also to dormouse_in_tea, whose keen proofreading attentions were indispensable.
So, go forth, feast, frolic about in our Fall. Savour the thorns and bones of it. Share them with your friends. And when you're done dallying with the witch girls and wolf peaches, if you've any breath left at all, come back and tell us how it tasted. |

| Fall Issue of Goblin Fruit Delayed |
[Oct. 8th, 2011|06:27 pm] |
Dear fruit-devouring folk,
Due to a number of factors beyond our control, the Fall issue of Goblin Fruit will be delayed by about a week. More concrete dates will surface as we have them.
For now, know that though the rushy margins of our orchard have been cleared of Toad Owls, there are yet more slavering beasts with a hunger for good poetry who will insist on haunting our grounds. Never doubt but that we SHALL best them -- meantime, we hope you'll make yourselves a savoury soup of Stone Telling to placate your own pangs. |
