Since we're switching over to Posterous as a platform, here is all the old news we posted on our previous site.
February 18, 2011
This might be a big update. There are a lot of changes occuring with the magazine. First, the February issue will be a split between February and March because its production has been stunted. This means that the March issue will be pushed forward to April. Production has been delayed because we have been negotiating with printers for the best price we can get. The best price we can get means the best price for our readers, so we're really trying to make the best decision! Regardless, the February/March issue will be printed by MagCloud. Since November, we have accidentally been printing bi-monthly. November was a split between November and December, and February will be a split between February and March. However, starting April we will hopefully be printing monthly again!
The February issue will have three different covers by Kristen Chiappone, Stephanie Herrera, and Narciso Espiritu Jr. The one you see on the splash page is by Kristen Chiappone
The February/March issue will feature the following:
"Grief, Pearls and Forgiveness" by Lisa Gulvin
"Eulogy of a Tree" and "The Death of I" by Erick Perez
"Distracted" by Emily Schosid
"Chicken Cutlets" by James Thibeux
"Sated" by Chastity Thomas
"Good Morning, Evening Acts I and II" and "Illustrations" by Akinfe Fatou
"18" by Christopher Pugh
Our Featured Author is Peycho Kanev, celebrating his poetry collection, Bone Silence.
The April issue will include:
"I Heart Polka (and I'm Not Talking About the Dots)" by Dennis Finocchiaro
"The Eighth Drop" by Elizabeth Dunphrey
"Gutter Lullaby and Satin Socks" by Chuck Rowland
"Intuition" by Joe A. Melendez
"Overheard and the 7PM Showing of The Watchmen" by Ruben Carbajal
