Bigger Than They Appear: Anthology of Very Short Poems includes two of mine, “Tercet” and “YouTube in Love”.
I'll be honest: I wasn't sure how much to expect from this book. I hadn't heard of the publisher before I stumbled upon its website, and a project of this nature almost invites the submission of tossed off poems and amputated bits of abortive poems. As it turns out, though, editor Katerina Stoykova-Klemer has put together a remarkable (and remarkably various) anthology. I've yet to read a single piece in it that seemed thrown in to make up the numbers; as most people who've edited a lit mag or antho will know, that's really saying something. Well worth your $15, I'd say.
