>April, apart from being the cruelest month, is also Poetry month. But Dan Wickett at Emerging Writers Network has decided that short stories need a month, too. And that would be May. Seems like a good idea to me, so I’m going to dig through my SEVERAL piles of unread books and find some promising short story collections and plan my assault for May. (I think I’ll read novels–and poetry–for the rest of April.)
