New reviews up at Gently Read Literature

*
Brand new Chapbook only review site featuring two reviews of Mathias Svalina's Play which I reviewed on this blog.

I'm pretty excited about this site so if you're a publisher and/or reviewer you should send them chapbooks or offer to do some reviews. Tarpaulin Sky and CutBank also have a ton of books that need reviewers too!

Big-eye George says to "read some reviews"

I have two new reviews published on Sink Review. One for a poet on Action Books, the other a poet on Ugly Duckling Presse.

Dan Magers (one of the Sink editors) has a review of Sam Starkweather's chapbook.

You've waited 58 years for this. . . The New School Writing Program is proud to announce of re-launch of The New School undergraduate literary magazine 12th Street, last published in 1950. The inside cover includes a work of art from the Spring 1949 issue but otherwise everything is new work by students currently enrolled in The Riggio Honors Program: Writing and Democracy. 12th Street is made possible by the Leonard and Louise Riggio Writing and Democracy Initiative at The New School and will be nationally distributed by Barnes and Noble.

There's no shortage of Matt Hart love in NYC/Brooklyn and I especially love the poem he has in Cutbank Issue 68. This is also a reading series that I don't get to attend nearly enough, but alas I'll be at a job fair tomorrow evening then going to see my friend play a little music so no BK travels for me but you should go and tell me all about it, okay?
