Stillwell

I’ve got a new poem up at 42opus this week. Thanks to Brian Leary et al for the beautiful presentation.

How the sausage is made

I am interviewed at PANK by the lovely Roxane Gay, on subjects such as editing, innovation in online journals, and zombies. There’s a fair bit about our selection process here at Linebreak, for those of you interested in how the sausage is made.

And the editors write a little, too

When we’re not reading submissions or otherwise avoiding the muse, Linebreaks editors have been known to write the occassional poem. A few of our recent efforts:

My poem “Dirge” appeared in the Health & Illness issue of the Pebble Lake Review on Monday.

Ash’s poem “Albert Goldbarth’s MFA Thesis” appeared in Diagram 8.1.

Text and audio of Ashley’s poem “Coming Down” appeared in Unsplendid 2.1.

Two of Jen’s poems — “Tony” and “I Know They Say: distant, small” — appeared in the fall 2008 issue of Mannequin Envy.
