Our Random Acts Books project continues to make progress, and we hope to finalize an arrangement with an editor by the end of the month. We've had more skype sessions and have enjoyed getting to know a few editors as they've read the stories for our first collection, An Ekphrastic Trio. We all agree we want to add a more engaging title for each of our miniologies, but we still like the Trio theme as a subtitle. More on the final selection process once we've reached an agreement with our editor!
In the meantime, I read a marvelous piece on the editorial page of the New York Times this morning, titled "Poetry: Who Needs it?" by William Logan. Wow, the LEAD editorial--well, in the digital edition, anyway--the one with the engraved illustration! For poetry! Is there hope for the world, after all?
