From the editor’s remarks:
Welcome to 2009 and the third issue of The Literary Hatchet. Reviews have been more than positive and our authors are grateful for your patronage. This is a free magazine, so please share it with your friends and family around the globe.
In this issue, we are honored to publish three poems by the great Ada Jill Schneider, award-winning author of Behind the Pictures I Hang, Fine Lines and Other Wrinkles, and The Museum of My Mother. I have met Ada, shared poetry at her poetry club, and basked in the gentle goodness she brings to the world. I know you will enjoy her work as much as I do.
In addition to Ada’s work, we offer you some lovely pieces by two of my favorite poets—Michael Brimbau and Kat Koorey. Both of these substantial artists astound me in the breadth and scope of their talents. I am pleased to present them again to you here.
For short stories, nothing beats a work by David Marshall James. In this issue, he gifts us with two of his works—both related to the subject matter of Lizzie Borden, but in very different ways.
Readers of The Hatchet: Lizzie Borden’s Journal of Murder, Mystery & Victorian History will recognize regular contributor Eugene Hosey on these pages as well. Eugene’s short stories, while dark and brooding, always surprise me. They are a perfect companion to a thundering rainy day.
We are planning to have another issue out before the year is over, and submissions are being accepted now. Please send your short stories, poetry, humor, and artwork to peartreepress@mac.com.
