Peeking Cat Poetry Magazine has released the cover for its annual anthology, as well as its release date — October 15th.
The cover, below, looks terrific. Editor Samantha Rose also announced today that the magazine will be hosting an online book launch on the day of the release. For more information, visit Peeking Cat’s website here.

This was an illustration from a government-issue comic book, tasked ambitiously with educating the public about how best to survive a nuclear attack. I believe that the name of the artist here is probably lost to history, though I saw one Internet commentator speculate that it looked like Jack Sparling’s work.
You can find the entire comic at Ethan Persoff’s excellent website here.
Godspeed to her and her people.
Today is the first day of Autumn. Why not stop over at The Bees Are Dead, and mark the encroaching cold with a few dark futuristic visions?
There you’ll find Gary Glauber’s “After the Deluge”, which is a sanguine twist on the usual narrative of the post-apocalyptic poem. There is also some truly arresting photography — Paul Gerrard’s “Monochromatic Beginnings” is shudder-inducing and delightfully monstrous, and Kathryn Nee’s ““Windows into the End” is a haunting exhibition of abandonment art.
