Sturgeon's Law

As I've already told a few people, this 2007 Eleventh Muse is going to be my last as editor. I got tired of all the fundraising I have to do, and I need a break from it in general. If you have a submission outstanding with the Muse, that's in the backlog for the interim editors to look at. I'd like to thank all the officers and members of Poetry West, and all the assistant editors, for their support. Also, thank you to the many great poets who sent work. If I get back into editing, it'll probably be something online--the wider potential audience with lower overhead, and the opportunity for more innovation, seem like great ideas to me.

I found out that my chapbook manuscript, Torched Verse Ends, was one of the finalists in the recent MiPOesias open chapbook reading period. Congratulations to the winner, Christine Hamm's excellently titled Children Having Trouble with Meat.
