Muse-Pie Press History

 

Shown in the photo above are the first two and only issues of "a journal of poetry" published by Muse-Pie Press in 1981, Issue Number 1, and in 1982, Issue Number 2. Soon after, Muse-Pie decided to publish books and then in 2006 when we moved to an online journal, expanding to three journals focusing on short poetry, the Fibonacci poem, and Spoken Word.
