Rabbit, rabbit! The Deadlands has reopened to poetry submissions. Send us your spectral, your chthonic, your grave-goods, your grief-gifts. We look forward to following you down.

My persistent typo for the name of this magazine is The Deadlads, which feels inevitably as though it will have to generate a ghost poem for A.E. Housman, even though Tom Stoppard sort of sewed that one up years ago. Have some links.

1. In memory of Norma Waterson, her music for a blessing.

2. On double standards of representation: "I also do think that placing the entire onus of trying to anticipate every single bad angle someone somewhere might take when reading the text upon the shoulders of the writer – instead of giving in that there should be also a level of responsibility on the part of the audience not to project whatever biases they might carry onto the text – is the kind of thing that will only end up reducing the range of stories that can be told about marginalized people." I hope she writes her heist story with a cool Latino car thief. On the subject of Jewish vampires, Leigh Ann Hussey's "Blood Libel" (1991) is an oldie but a goodie.

3. I like this music video. It reminds me of the films of Peter Strickland: Qlowski, "Folk Song."
