Such being the case, May is National Short Story Month. Now get out there and read some short fiction. I'd recommend the journal Short Story. Not just for the title, they honestly do put out some nice work.
Things here in Bloomington are lovely moving along towards summer. The campus has emptied out and now we have plenty of elbow room on the streets of this fine town. The chill air of college town America is one of those rewards year round residents get in the summer. I'm milking it now, reading up on Snyder and Hayden while tending to our garden. The realness of life away from academia is a wonderful breath of air after a semester of literary criticism and over blowing ivory tower issues.
One important note to pass along. READ THIS (out of Montana State University) has lost its last founding editor with the graduation of Cheryl Knoble. Cheryl served as Editor in Chief since the start and really was instrumental in turning the vision of poet john d powers it a reality. It was a great run. One that I'm sure the next generation of editors at READ THIS will carry on nicely. There should be a new issue out in and around Bozeman as I post this. The website has yet to update its electronic version. Congrads Cheryl on the great run and welcome to post-graduate blues. I doubt it will be the last the Literary world hears from her.
