The Seattle band Fleet Foxes is launching a new literary journal—or the band is affiliated with the new journal. Something like this. The inaugural issue of the new literary & arts journal, Unified Field Collective, will be a 60-page, full-color production released in a short run of 500 “hand numbered, limited edition and non-returnable” copies, shipping out
With VIDA’s The Count 2010 on the representation of women in literary and review publications still fresh in my mind, I was eager to get my hands on Granta’s Summer 2011 edition: The F Word.

Rarely am I introduced to a print publication through its online version, but my previous reading experiences with Monkeybicycle have been focused on their more truncated works, including the archived flash fiction and the addicting One Sentence Story feature.
I found something today; it’s very exciting. Some background: I spend a few minutes every morning trolling for news about living literature. The things I find are mostly local. They happen at community centers and libraries and small writing departments or in high school classrooms. I try not to focus on the Big Famous Writer
on 6×6 #2 and Artifice 2 The New York Times magazine recently switched to a new format, which both visually mimics an online magazine and, with the abundance of instances of “To learn more, visit the magazine online at…,” attempts to strongarm readers into thinking of the online and print editions of the magazine as
on New York Quarterly 66 A couple months ago Nicole bought me two issues of the New York Quarterly, one from 1973 and the other from 1978. I had never read NYQ before, and found it sort of strangely likable. So when I say that I was surprised how much this issue resembled those older
