Last weekend, the AWP (The Association of Writers & Writing Programs) Annual Conference was held in Washington, D.C. It consisted of four days full of panels, meetings, and drinking (or so I heard).
I skipped the panels, meetings, and drinking, and went to the Bookfair instead. I didn’t count but there had to be close to a bazillion booths and table displays to check out. Being a “genre” writer, I never realized just how many literary journals, magazines, reviews, small presses, university presses, MFA programs, writing coops, and other related “literary” things existed.
I was astounded, to say the least.
It’s nice to know there are a ton of fresh and innovative publishers/publications out there, both in print and on-line, providing outlets for creative writing of all stripes.
Kinda made me wish I was more creative.

Alan - I wouldn't say at all that you're not creative. But I agree, there is so much out there in terms of journals, publishers, and the like. It's bewildering, isn't it?
But you didn't answer the question! What IS a Chapbook?

It's amazing to see what all is out there! And the number of online journals and mags is growing, too.
