Birdbook II<\/i><\/b> is very nearly ready to go printerwards. We’ve received a foreword from the fantastic Tim Birkhead<\/a>, proofing has been done and it’s just minor tweaks to go. For the uninitiated, this is the second book in a series of four, in which we aim to gather one poem and one illustration for every species of British bird. Each book covers a group of habitats. Volume II is looking great, helped in no small part by the return of Lois Cordelia<\/a>, who has once again provided her beautiful artwork for the cover.

Coin Opera II<\/i><\/b>, our second anthology of poetic tributes to computer games, is looking good too. With cover art by the very talented Mike Stone<\/a> and a whole bundle of computer game-themed formal Easter eggs (including what may be the world’s first set of ‘boss’ poems), this is going to be a mighty power-up from our initial micro-anthology, back in 2009. A foreword from Uncanny X Men<\/i> writer and video games journalist Kieron Gillen<\/a>, a spot more collaging and rearranging, a good old proof and it’ll be off to press before you can say Hadouken.

More updates to come. Stay tuned!
