Note from the Editor: I cannot accept poetry contributions that I don’t specifically ask for — I don’t have the time or the space to handle them yet. If you’d like to submit a review, article or interview, send a half-page synopsis with your return email address. Because Jacket is free and has no advertising and no source of income, I regret that I cannot offer to pay for contributions.

Copyright Information (for Jacket authors and copyright owners): Jacket asks for single-use non-exclusive electronic world rights, in order to protect your rights from exploitation by others. You retain all copyright, and you may publish the work anywhere in any form at any time. You don’t have to ask Jacket’s permission: just do it. It would be nice if you mentioned previous appearance in Jacket.


 

This issue is about 900 printed pages long.

Note to Anxious Contributors: Jacket 39 filled up so fast that a great deal of material has been held over for Jacket 40, which will appear through April into July 2010. Please endeavour to see this enforced delay as a wonderful opportunity to practice the virtues of patience and calm-mindfulness. You might also like to spend the time seeking an English rhyme for “orange”: those who succeed will be guaranteed literary immortality, of a kind.
