A new issue of The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature is online.
Here is an update from Penny Harter:
Hi,
October rains have come to the South Jersey shore area, but with them---finally---cooler weather. I'm gearing up for reading at the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival next week. I'll be reading on Saturday, October 9th, and returning from Newark, NJ, on October 11th, the two-year anniversary of Bill's death. I know he'll be with me at the Festival in spirit---the first one I'll be attending without him. I can feel him cheering me on!
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that two poems from my new chapbook, Recycling Starlight, (just out from Mountains and Rivers press--please visit my blog for ordering info) “Facing the Sea,” and “I Swim a Sea That Has No Shore or Bottom,” are featured in the Autumnal Issue of Sea Stories,
http://seastories.org/category/littoralcurrents/
the on-line journal of the blue Ocean Institute. I encourage you to explore all the work in the journal, from poems to essays, memoirs to photos, and interviews.
And for those of you who may have been wondering when Recycling Starlight would be out, it is now available. You can read about it on my blog at:
http://penhart.wordpress.com/2010/09/17/recycling-starlight-just-published/
There's a link to Mountains and Rivers Press if you'd like to order a copy.
Hope you're doing well these early days of autumn.
Warmly,
Penny

Hey Curtis,
I just received copies of my new collection (been 10 years since my last two came out!) entitled Inside Out from Red Moon Press. I wonder if you could send out news of it via Blogging Along Tobacco Road. Sure would appreciate it!
Gratefully, as ever, your friend,
Christopher

Hello, there! Haibun is haiku-style prose. The rules have changed slightly this year. For a start, it's free to enter. Kindly advertise our contest in your next newsletter or to the extent you feel able. This is still Japan's only haibun contest! Hopefully, you'll have an attempt yourself and send it off to Tokyo? Thank you for anything you can do to spread the word... All the best, Stephen (Tito)
