Cover of Issue 1

In case you missed it last October, here’s a post on Poetry Foundation about Stephen McLaughlin, Gregory Laynor & Vladimir and Aleksandrovich Zykov’s Issue 1, the poetry compendium composed by computer. (And here is an interesting commentary on the project by Dylan Kinnett from his blog.) At England’s Literary Review, famed feminist literary theorist Elaine Showalter writes on Susan Sontag’s recently published journals. New issue of Vice includes Andrew W. K. reading an Ann Beattie story and an unofficial syllabus from Jim Shepard. And, on the gossip side of things, BOMB magazine associate publisher Mary-Ann Monforton’s Bed-Stu brownstone was bankrolled by a Basquiat painting.
