    About this ebook

    Bumble Jacket Miscellany: a miscellany for poetry and fiction, a biannually published literary magazine, has been created with the purpose of publishing the best poetry and short fiction, regardless of style, genre, or approach. In this Spring 2011 issue of Bumble Jacket Miscellany:

    Have a drink in Paris, meet Dr. Glazer, read poetry composed on the meter and the structure of Japanese traditional music known a Danmono, inspired by a passion for India, and written by the descendant of poets. Witness the dream of an Anglo Saxon monastic, ponder death and religiosity, and learn how one chicken can hold dominion over the forty or so feral cats.

      of the risks we stop taking
