GALATEA RESURRECTS FOR THE SIXTH TIME!

Moi am so purrrr-ed to announce the release of Galatea Resurrects #6 (A Poetry Engagement).

Galatea is an all-volunteer operation, so THANK YOU so much to the volunteer reviewers!

For convenience, GR #6's Table of Contents is replicated below.

Meanwhile, information on sending review copies and submitting reviews is available in Galatea's Purse. Review submission deadline for the next issue is Aug. 5, 2007. (Please note, too, our special section "From Offline to Online" which reprints poetry reviews first published by print magazines or now-defunct websites so that they are not yet online.)

Happy Reading,
