Yes, great cover art. Compels one to flip the cover and examine the content. The Literary Hatchet Covers, with their eerie, creepy and somewhat sinister "face" images are quickly becoming a classic trademark for the Hatchet's little cousin.
Below are the first three covers. All soon to become timeless and collectable.

I await the hard copy before delving in to read it.
But that being said, looking it over quickly on the computer I came across a poem called SHADOW. Very nice. It caught my eye because I wrote a poem which I called SHADOW, but later changed the title to THE DARKNESS. Even more quincentennial was that the poem, The Darkness, was included in the first issue of the Literary Hatchet.
I am very happy to see so much poetry in this issue. A publication can not paint itself more "Literary" then to do so with poetry.
And I have a weird story to mention.
My poem "Give In" is seemingly haunted!
By Bill!
I typed it without punctuation on this old laptop. Then I removed my glasses and leaned in close to the screen on my lap to add that and check everything. It was 2 pages on the screen- 2 screens worth. Toward the bottom of the first screen there was William Schley-Urlich's name embedded in my poem~ I had not typed it!
I sat in wonderment and talked to him in my mind then, and meditated a bit to feel the power of the moment. Whether it was some sort of glitch or not- it was awesome because of the poem's message, anyway.
Then after that time-out, I resumed scanning over my transcription- and there was his name again! Written fully out- embedded within my poem I had just typed!
Well, I sent it along to my publisher (Stef) with the story of how strange this all was- and without my knowing she printed it as I sent it to her. So, Bill is iN my poem~ and only Forum members will ever know or understand this story!
Such talent, Kat.
