The Able Muse Anthology -- from the new Able Muse Press -- celebrates Able Muse's journey through its first decade and beyond, by showcasing the best of the published poetry, fiction, essays, interviews, book reviews, art and photography, including a foreword by Timothy Steele. This anthology has received high praise and acclaim from Dana Gioia, David Mason, Charles Martin, Catharine Savage-Brosman, X.J. Kennedy, Catharine Savage Brosman and others.
PRAISE FOR THE ABLE MUSE ANTHOLOGY:
. . . This book fills an important gap in understanding what is really happening in early twenty first century American poetry. - Dana Gioia.
. . . You hold in your hands a remarkable anthology of poems, translations, an interview, essays, short stories and visual art. - David Mason.
. . . This extraordinarily rich collection of fiction, poetry, essays and art by so many gifted enablers of the Muse is both a present satisfaction and a promise of future performance. - Charles Martin.
. . . Neither unskilled, lethargic, nor distracted from their proper enterprise, the muses in the past decade have been singularly able, as this outstanding anthology of work from The Able Muse demonstrates. - Catharine Savage-Brosman.
. . . Here's a generous serving of the cream of Able Muse, including not only formal verse but nonmetrical work that also displays careful craft, memorable fiction (seven remarkable stories), striking artwork and photography, and incisive critical prose. - X.J. Kennedy.
