The print edition is now available from the qarrtsiluni e-store, so this website and the podcast have gone live as well. Memory Palace should be available at Amazon in a few days. Read the announcement post at qarrtsiluni.
Chapbooks are traditionally associated with limited editions, so perhaps a print-on-demand chapbook is a bit of a contradiction of terms, but our aim is to make A Walk Through the Memory Palace as widely available as possible — hence also this online version. Pamela has generously agreed to make the contents available under a Creative Commons license that allows noncommercial copying and modification as long as attribution is given (for web use, please include a link). Let us know if you write a review, translate any of the poems, or make videos of them, for possible inclusion in this news blog.

Pamela Johnson Parker’s winning manuscript faced stiff competition; most of our eight screeners as well as the final judge, Dinty Moore, praised the over-all quality of submissions.
This was a completely blind contest. Eight first-round readers read the fifty submitted manuscripts in order to narrow the field to a shortlist of no more than ten. Each chapbook, identified only by title, was read by at least two readers. A shortlist of ten anonymous manuscripts was then forwarded to Dinty Moore for his final decisions. Read the full details at the magazine.
