news and such
Huge congratulations to Mary Miller for her forthcoming collection Big World. I can't wait to read it.
This week on Five-Star Literary Stories Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's story Half A Yellow Sun is reviewed. This beautiful story originally appeared in Beverly Jackson's Ink Pot (where I was once an editor) and then later in Zoetrope.

Every Burning Thing--order it today!
I am overjoyed to announce the release of Beverly Jackson's debut chapbook Every Burning Thing. Beverly has been both a friend and a mentor to me. She has also helped countless writers and artists along their path and she has worked tirelessly at her craft. She deserves every success coming her way.
In addition, she has a worthy cause: When you purchase a copy of her chapbook, you will not only find yourself with some gorgeous poetry on your hands, but you will also be helping the poet fund her trip to visit her WWII-hero father's grave in France--the backstory regarding her father and his gravesite can be read here: The Big Bitch (WARNING: Keep some kleenex handy when you read this story!).
