  If you live with a physical disability, not considered to be a mental disability, and you have written short fiction about it, please consider submitting your work to Mike Northen, editor of Wordgathering. Northen and Sheila Black, co-editor of Beauty is a Verb, a physical disabilities poetics anthology, are co-editing a fiction companion volume. Of course, they want to include great writing, so send your best.

  Ann, do you know why they are excluding mental disabilities?

  It was never explained, Elizabeth. Ron Silliman wrote about it in his perceptive review on Ron Silliman's Blog.

  I have learned from the Editors that the next volume of Beauty is a Verb, fiction focus, will contain a section that will concern mind and body. The Editors have chosen most of the material -- fiction emphasis -- they plan to include. It promises to be a valuable anthology.
