A tour through the archives of Painted Bride Quarterly

At the Best American Poetry blog, Daniel Nester takes readers on a brief tour through the online archives of Painted Bride Quarterly:

I think I realized just how small I was in PBQ’s history until I worked on the PBQ Archive, where we scanned each and every issue, made PDF files of them, and posted them all online.

With Richard Eoin Nash, later my publisher at Soft Skull Press, consulting us, and Thomas Israel Hopkins, a superfab fiction writer, manning the HTML wheels of steel, the Archive project was a modest attempt to share the history of PBQ with the world.

Rumor is that Daniel will be showing up around these parts next week.
