GALATEA RESURRECTS NO. 27 IS LIVE!

I'm delighted to present the second issue for 2016, the ten-year-anniversary of Galatea Resurrects (or GR). Thanks as ever--for at least ten years!--to GR's generous volunteer staff of reviewers. In addition to presenting wonderful feature articles, we feature 62 NEW POETRY REVIEWS in this 27th issue.

Issue No. 27 also will be the last issue-oriented release for Galatea Resurrects. Commencing in January 2017, GR will revert to publishing reviews as they are submitted and accepted. Go HERE for the Galatea Resurrects 2017 website--we are open for business! That is, we are ready to take new reviews effective immediately!

With Issue No. 27, GR has provided 1,731 new reviews and 154 reprinted reviews (the latter brings online engagements previously available only viz print or first published in now-defunct online sites). With this issue, we also increased our coverage of poetry publishers by eight to 587 publishers in 18 countries. This is important as much of the ground-breaking poetry work is published by independent and/or relatively small presses who (by the nature of their work) are not always as well-known as they deserve. 

Galatea Resurrects presents reviews, but what we're really about is engagement in any form with poetry in any form. The form need not just be published text; in this issue, for example, we present engagements with a poetry festival in Glasgow in October 2016, three visual poetry works by Spencer Shelby, and a poetry zine. We also want to present online any material that's still offline. This means that we're open to reprinting introductions, prefaces or afterwords in poetry or poetry-related books. In this issue, we present Crag Hill's Preface to ALPHABET NOIR by Nico Vassilakis as well as Robert Kelly's Foreword and Preface, respectively, to Waters Of by Billie Chernicoff and Uncreated Mirror by Tamas Panitz. If you have such material, contact us!

You can access Galatea Resurrects No, 27 directly HERE, and I'll also cutnpaste the Table of Contents below for convenience:
