Some years ago I was involved in a number of projects with Raechel Henderson at Eggplant Productions. Of those, the one probably closest to my heart was Spellbound, a fantasy magazine aimed at kids.

If any SFPA member would like to read my file of Rhysling eligible poetry for the year, please let me know, and I'll be happy to send it. There are 41 poems this year, all, oddly enough, in the short form category ( Read more... )
