One of the pleasures of the Great Smoky Mountains Bookfair was meeting the editors of the new literary magazine fresh...stories, poems, ideas--JC Walkup (Publisher), Penny Morse (Poetry Editor, and Buffy Queen (Non Fiction Editor). We nabbed a passer-by, who looked like a student and therefore more techno-savvy than we are, to capture the four of us beside my table.
They also snapped me in the process of writing a poem for one of the winners of our Bookfair Student Poetry Contest.
And here's my friend Vicki Lane chatting with my mentor and friend Fred Chappell. Fred looks as if he's deep into ponder-mode. I wonder what they were talking about.
As for fresh, the first issue features Robert Morgan with three poems, a story by Kathryn Magendie, and, among many other pieces, a poem by Keith Flynn, Editor of The Asheville Poetry Review, just off the presses. The deadline for the next issue is Dec. 1st, so consider submitting some Winter related work right away. The address is fresh, LLC, P.O. Box 107, Canton, NC 28716.
