Amelia Beamer, Delia Sherman, Ray Vukcevich, Anna Tambour.
Borderlands Books says:
"INTERFICTIONS 1 was the brilliant first anthology from The Interstitial Arts Foundation, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the study, support, and promotion of interstitial art: literature, music, visual and performance art found in between categories and genres. INTERFICTIONS 2 meets the same standard of excellence, and we're delighted to host a reading with three of the contributors and one of the editors of this new volume! What could be a better match for Borderlands than a collection celebrating art that crosses borders?"








This year's World Fantasy Convention celebrates Edgar Allan Poe (and inevitably that celebrity raven). Somehow, this unsung (though gorgeous voiced) Lord Howe Island currawong slipped quothlessly into this post.

  2. Cheryl, I've been meaning to write to you, to say this to you! By the way, I love your feisty blog, and choked laughing over the "steaming heap of dingo's kidneys". You're still doing that rare thing: saying what you really think.

  3. Oops, Cheryl. I see I left out a word, so didn't quite get across all the flavour of your description of Wikipedia, which was "steaming heap of fetid dingo’s kidneys".
    I can smell them now.
