I've just been notified that Les Murray's poem 'Going to Karachi, 2010', which appeared in The Chimaera's Issue 8, was selected by John Tranter to appear in The Best Australian Poems 2011. This print anthology has wide distribution in bookshops and libraries.

That is excellent news. A terrific poem, a terrific venue and lots of new folks will be camping on your site, Paul. Bunker up on food and water, you may not be able to go out for a while

Good news! Thanks for letting us know.

[Maryann Corbett]

Woohoo! Congratulations to you, Paul!

[Paul Stevens]

Thanks, colleagues. The Best Australian Poems annual is a fairly prestigious publication on the Australian scene. The glory is Les Murray's, of course -- but I think some of it reflects on all those authors who contribute towards making The Chimaera's general standard so high, which provides a springboard for such leaps. So well done, all you lot!

Wahoo! Congrats Paul, and thanks to you and the team.
