Can’t wait for these stories to be in print in November, missed them when they were in The Paris Review, so will have to wait for Heinemann to publish them! Any idea if an ebook version will be released?

Since publishers generally found anthology publication a more flexible medium than the collection of a single poet's work, and indeed rang innumerable changes on the idea as a way of marketing poetry, publication in an anthology (in the right company) became at times a sought-after form of recognition for poets. The self-definition of movements, dating back at least to Ezra Pound's efforts on behalf of Imagism, could be linked on one front to the production of an anthology of the like-minded. -Online Public Relations
