The Plenitude of Emptiness: YOUR ASSISTANCE REQUESTED
Dear Friends
Following on the news of the very serious nature of our dear friend Hortensia Anderson's illness, we announce our intention to make available in print, The Plenitude of Emptiness: Collected Haibun by Hortensia Anderson.
This book, in accordance with Hortensia's wishes, will be edited and published by Norman Darlington and Moira Richards during 2010. It will be made available throughout the world via POD, at only the cost of printing and delivery. The book will include as many of Hortensia's published and unpublished haibun as we are able to find, and in which search we request your assistance.
Please mail us at plenitude.of.emptiness@gmail.com (plenitude.of.emptiness [at] gmail [dot] com) with information about any material that might add to this, a lasting tribute to the brave and gifted woman who is friend and inspiration to so many.

Drunken Boat
January has been an exciting month for Drunken Boat! (www.drunkenboat.com)
The editors of are pleased to announce the launch of Drunken Boat 11. The issue includes, as always, excellent international fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and sound art. We are also pleased to present "Life in the Time of Contraction" - text and art that explore the question "How do we cope in a time of contraction, after a prolonged age of consumption?" As well, we feature a special folio of Kay Ryan's work - including an interview with the U.S. Poet Laureate.
We also launched our first book, Radha Says, the final collection by award-winning poet Reetika Vazirani. A rising star and winner of the Barnard New Women Poets Prize, Vazirani was at the height of her poetic powers when she tragically ended her own life and the life of her young son, Jehan. She left behind a manuscript of poems sealed in an envelope, with which Leslie McGrath and Ravi Shankar worked to edit and to bring out her last poems. With a foreward by Kazim Ali and blurbs by Meena Alexander, Marilyn Hacker and George Kalogeris, Radha Says extends the poetic evolution of one of the most important Diasporic poets of her time.
