Is it spirit? Is it magic? Where on Earth - or outside of Earth - does inspiration come from? NewMyths contributors explore the unknowable Muse in the fantastic and the future. This anthology of 43 short stories and poems features winners and nominees for Writers of the Future, Rhysling, Baen Fantasy Adventure, Dwarf Star, and Nebula awards. About half the anthology is a "best of" NewMyths magazine, while the other half is first published here.
