Roundup: Lit Mag Edition

March 31, 2011

Off work today desperately trying to catch up on a million things, including writing. So instead I’m crawling around the Internet peering at everyone else’s terrific work. Sigh.

Oh, well. Benefit from my laziness! Here you are:

Robert Kloss’s “The Lives of Alligators” at Smokelong Quarterly. The whole issue is fantastic, too.

Corium Magazine has a new issue up–their anniversary issue! Wish them happy one year (congrats Lauren Becker, Heather Fowler, and Sal Pane!) and read great great stuff from Andrea Kneeland, Brian Oliu, Michael Kimball, Sean Lovelace, and many many other greats.

Blake Butler interviews Matt Bell at HTMLGiant. Thoughtful and good stuff here. I particularly like Matt’s words on revisions and on use of music in writing.

New elimae! New Mudluscious! To speak truth I’m only partway into these two beasts of awesome but loving what I’m reading so far. Loving.

And…you’re welcome. Now I’m going to attempt to write something half as good as any of the above.
