Our short story, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, will be published in the 2010 VWS Writers’ Supplement coming out in August. More details about this special print publication will be provided here later.

Will the Circle be unbroken is about an autistic boy who experiences a terrible calamity in his home. He escapes into a nearby forest where he comes across a strange, circular depression in the ground—an ancient crater formed by the impact of a meteorite thousands of years ago.

Three of our poems, Terracotta Oil Lamp, Statue of Eros and Sarcophagus, will be published in Every Day Poets magazine, a Web 2.0 poetry journal online and in print  The publication dates are TBA. We will provide links here when available.

The three poems were original conceived as one poem in three parts, but we have broken them out into separate poems at the request of the editor.

We are pleased to announce that two of our poems, Industry in Morning (Dedicated to Wiliam Blake) and Mad Shadows, will be published in the debut issue of Scarlet Literary Magazine, a new print magazine that will be appearing in July 2010. 

Dark Eye Glances is an eJournal of dark, lyric poetry in traditional and experimental forms. We publish poets who have an implicit appreciation for traditional rhyming and metrical poems, yet are willing to explore new forms and techniques. Typically we will favor rhythmic poetry with dark, dramatic, metaphysical and psychological themes.

Our first issue will appear online in June 2010. We also plan to issue a print anthology of the best of 2010. Please follow our Submission Guidelines. Readers are welcome to submit recommendations for specific poets and poetry. We want to know what our readers like so we can give them more of it.
