November/December 2011
Special delivery! This hot-off-the-press issue of Muse contains everything you could possibly need for a fantastic winter break. Beneath this layer of packing peanuts, you'll find an exotic custard apple (carefully wrapped, to avoid bruising), an ambitious Englishman who really likes to mail things, a selection of containers sitting at the bottom of the ocean, a bowl of artichoke juice, and, of course, the Nine New Muses.
This issue's Muserology takes place in a vacation spot that doesn't sell postcards: the Burning Man festival in Nevada. What's your craziest family vacation story? Tell us about it for a chance to get published in Muse.
We had so many amazing entries to our Wordle contest that we added a bonus page of winners in the magazine, and even more right here on the website. Check out all of our favorite entries before sending your most creative Muse mail ever to our new contest.
