Phil Davenport’s Haptic Teaparty is now in progress. We have a great issue of new Flash Fiction (curated by “Big World” Mary Miller and featuring the wonderful pix of Margaret) and an eye-popping all-Paris (Fancypants) issure edited by Alexander Dickow (just arrived this morning!), with issues edited by Pam Brown, Eileen Tabios, Dayana Stetco, and many others in the works for early to mid 2010 publication. The Prague issue has hung-fire a bit due to the slowness of authors providing bio information to the editor. We hope they hurry up. Boston, New York, and “New Chicago School” issues eagerly awaited. We have plans for a teacher/mentor-student issue, a Native-American issue, and many other schemes to fight back oblivion. Jess the oblivious
