Welcome to Masque Publishing.Welcome to Masque Publishing - Home of Decanto poetry magazine, poetry books, music and self-publishing service.
Issue 45 of Decanto out now! Please follow the link below or follow the Decanto button on
the left for full details of this issue including which poets are
included, and some examples of their work. Details of ordering current
and back issues can also be found on these pages. New Release - Paradise by Elise
code: EC8 - Paradise PRESS RELEASE Journey into the world of metaphysical romanticism and be absorbed and experience the depths and emotions of the deepest and most profound passions of the soul. 'Paradise' captures love eloquently, delicately,
passionately. Within its pages Elise evokes tender and ravishing
images. It is heartening to see a young poet like Elise, follow in the
wake of our beloved poets - bringing us sighs and moments and visions
to savour. Elise's style is heart stirring, in the subtlest sense of
this. As familiar as I am with Sappho and the fragments of her poetry
in ancient Aeolic Greek I can tell you with assurance that Sappho's
very spirit seems to suffuse and illuminate Elise's poetry... which I
would never say about any other modern, 21st. century poet! Subscriptions: We are pleased to announce that we will now be offering readers the chance to subscribe to Decanto magazine.

This is a series of interviews with poets who are at the latter or intermediate stages of their writing careers. He asks each poet the same questions, about their backgrounds, their education, their success (or lack of), their attitude, what advice they have for young writers and even if they would participate in a reality television show.
