Probably you then read it. Probably your feeling then ran in the range of curiosity to delight.

LIKE GET THIS BOOK.

In the current posting of Wigleaf—a rare 'issue,' of the old-school sort—J.A. Tyler and I offer thirteen original stamp stories by some of the writers who are featured in the [C.] anthology. I will now—just for fun—type the names of these writers. I don't need to; you can read them right there on the page. But I want to: these writers are so, so good. They're able, within these tiny frames, to really open things up. They give some fantastic performances….

(now typing….)

Michael Bible, Shome Dasgupta, Claire Donato, Kathy Fish, Rachel B. Glaser, Amanda Goldblatt, Tim Horvath, Joanna Howard, Adam Peterson, Joanna Ruocco, Ben Segal, Gregory Sherl, Terese Svoboda.

Once more, maybe?
