Singular Interviews: GREER GILMAN

.

 


Marianne Porter's latest Dragonstairs Press chapbook, Singular Interviews, will be offered for sale at noon Eastern time this coming Saturday, and sell out shortly thereafter.

 SINGULAR INTERVIEWS:  GREER GILMAN


QUESTION:  In Farah Mendlesohn’s and Edward James’ A Short History of Fantasy, they say that Cloud & Ash is written entirely in iambic pentameter.  Can this possibly be true?
