Welcome to the 3rd Anniversary Issue of Wicked Alice, the last year of which has witnessed not only four issues filled with the best poetry available on the web, but several design tweakings, a move to Sundress Publications, a special summer Chicago Issue, and the release of our first print annual. And yet, we continue to grow, each issue swelling in size, our tendrils spreading both in readership and into other publishing venues. Dancing Girl Press, the print affiliate of Wicked Alice, not only produced my own chapbook Bloody Mary in the spring, but will publish Adrianne Marcus' The Resurrection of Trotsky in November. We are also currently seeking manuscripts for next year's series. We are continually commited to publishing the best women-centered writing on the web and beyond. Thank you to the poets, editors, and readers that make that possible. Cheers, Kristy Bowen, Editor
