I loved the chapbook. The Klages story - one of three she has out this year - is just lovely. I also loved Geoff's stories. A fine book and well worth having.

In case you missed it, the Summer (print) version of Rain Taxi had a positive and thoughtful joint review of Cheek by Jowl and Sylvia Kelso's book on Le Guin.

I just finished reading the Year's Best SF 14 anthology edited by Hartwell and Cramer, and was pleased to find rocking stories by Carolyn Ives Gilman, Vandana Singh, Ann Halam / Gwyneth Jones (plus lots of other good 'uns).
