Publication is imminent! About a week ago, I got the proofs back for Speculative Poetry and the Modern Alliterative Revival: A Critical Anthology , and just yesterday I got the official cover. I'm loving it. And actually, simply picking a cover gave me the hardest time. When I got Rowman & Littlefield's marketing guide, I just couldn't find any layout I liked, nor any image from their stock photos that said "alliterative meter." So I just ended up going for an eye-catching SF/fantasy alien landscape. That seemed as thematically appropriate as anything, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how well it seems to work in actuality.
