My love poem, "Ravens", styled as a screenplay depicting a romance between two ravens, was first published in the now-defunct, Dastaan World Magazine, back in 2018. After a very respectful discussion, Editor Mandy Chandler has accepted it unchanged for publication in the imminent* anthology, "A Tree Full of Crows", by Fairy Wren Publishing.
*update: it became available on Kindle as of April 3, 2024: https://www.amazon.com/Tree-Full-Crows-Anthology-ebook/dp/B0CZHJSJP3
I stipulate "unchanged" because she had asked for, and naturally preferred, works that were about or at least included crows. Both works I had to offer were about ravens, not crows. However, unlike the poem, above, my drabble, "An Unkindness of Ravens", originally published in Bloodsong Books' "Curses and Cauldrons" anthology, could easily be tweaked. Instances of "Raven" were easily swapped with "Crow", and the drabble was renamed "A Murder of Crows".
I'm proud of both works. This will be an anthology worth reading and owning.
