Goblin Fruit, ripe on the vine.

The Winter 2012 Issue of Goblin Fruit is live.

For anyone not familiar with it, it's a wonderful online journal of poetry "of the fantastical" edited by Amal El-Mohtar and Jessica P. Wick.

I'm thrilled and honoured that a poem of mine has been included in this latest issue.

Their past issues are archived on the website and are very well worth getting lost within.

Enjoy!

  1. That's a fantastic piece of writing, I love the unsettling strength of it and the imagery...
    My favourite stanza is:

    'My brothers drifted skyward
    only to lose their dream-black feathers
    which fell to earth
    as a shower of words'

    Wonderful... :)

  3. oooowuh, I love poetry ... just posted a blog on love poetry for v[day] at my work site (pls. come visit and >>> comment? www.universitybookstore.blogger.com.)

    Congrats Lynn!!! You are published!

    your poem evokes a story, have you considered writings longer forms? i especially like the last stanza ... i have a relative who might've symbolically done what you have depicted ... it is disturbing - in the way a writer would want it to be - and stays with you.

    maybe someday i will share my bad poetry with you ... and, no, i am not being humble. lol.

  6. Thank you for your lovely comment, Carrie!

    Valerianna, thank you. I'm sorry the recording volume was too low - it's the first time I've played with MP3 recordings.

    Glad you liked it Jan, thanks! I love writing short stories too, and have a few in the works right now. I will definitely check out your post at the university bookstore - thanks for the link. (I've got some astonishingly bad poetry of my own I could share...)

    Thank you, Joanna! And welcome to my blog. I'm looking forward to popping over to yours.

    Thank you so much, Cathrin.
