New Lit on the Block :: re•mediate

Pro AI? Anti AI? Undecided? No matter where you are on the AI fence, re•mediate is making its own contribution to the conversation, publishing creative writing, criticism, and interviews, as well as a limited amount of visual/interactive work, all of which centers on what is traditionally called human-computer collaboration.

“At re•mediate,” explains Founding Editor P.D. Edgar, “we call it computer-assisted creative writing, which is to acknowledge, in broad strokes, that the practice of being a writer is computer-mediated at many more stages than the compositional. In Issue•1, we published a poem that was human-written but addressed, using three different fonts, how writers are expected to maintain an online audience or presence as a part of their brand and the frustration with that expectation. On the other hand, we also seriously consider work that’s made with AI or written computationally, such as with functional code that prints text. We’re not the first to do this (Taper), and luckily, we’re in a little cohort of fresh new literary magazines who are interested in serious experiments with AI (Ensemble Park, AI Literary Review).”

Magazine Stand :: Kaleidoscope – Winter/Spring 2025

Kaleidoscope has creatively explored the experience of disability through literature and the fine arts for 45 years, and issue 90 (Winter/Spring 2025) is now available. Contributors delve into the impact disability has on relationships, parenting, and aging, while other pieces provide insight into neurodiversity, chronic illness, ableism, and resilience.

In the featured essay, “My Legs,” Bonnie Ruane Wheeler takes a closer look at her lower limbs and contemplates the ways they have carried her for more than half a century. Beginning in the womb with a mere flutter, she eloquently recounts memories of legs that performed pirouettes, climbed, paced, and even buckled beneath her. These snapshots through time transport readers to the present day, and a diagnosis she might not be able to outrun.

Four local artists are featured in this issue along with a wonderful group of established and emerging writers: Mio Aoki-Sherwood, Brenda Beardsley, Diane Bell, Gail Brown, Virginia Isaacs Cover, Mimi Eagar, Meg Eden, Elliott Gorski, Linseigh Green, Mia Herman, Gabriel Hull, Elly Katz, Philip Andrew Lisi, M. S. Marquart, H. McCrystal, Anne Mikusinski, Tim Murphy, Dixie L. Partridge, Roselyn Perez, Zach Pietrafetta, Lily Sargent, Mary Harwell Sayler, Val Valdez, Bonnie Ruane Wheeler, Heather Wicks, Katharine Yusuf, Lisa Zimmerman, and Hearts For Music.

Magazine Stand :: Blue Collar Review – Fall 2024

Published quarterly by Partisan Press, Blue Collar Review offers readers poetry, short stories, literary reviews, and illustrations voicing the perspective of the progressive working class. The Fall 2024 issue editorial comments on the value of this work:

“In times like these, our efforts as poets and as a journal are needed more than ever. We are proud to claim Trump’s epithet of being the ‘enemy within’ and are determined to continue together — no matter what — to say what needs to be said. Our entire effort is, first and foremost, perspective shaping. We understand the power of art, of poetry, to make complex issues understood and felt, to change attitudes and minds. We understand our class commonalties and who really threatens our health and well being. [. . . ] Let us remember that we are not alone, that we have the numbers and that we have to be here for each other in the hard times we face. Together, we make a difference, together we will persevere.”

Contributors to the Fall 2024 issue include Larry Crist, Ken Meisel, Facundo Rompehuevos, Vaughn Wright, Ken Poyner, Lyrion Ap Tower, Michael Theroux, Kathryn Showalter, Cave Roskos, Jonathan Andersen, Tad Tuleja, Chris Collins, Tom Gengler, Andrea Reynolds, and many more.

New Lit on the Block :: Flash Phantoms

Flash Phantoms is a new online monthly dedicated to publishing the best horror stories of 1000 words or less as well as micro fiction horror of 100 words. They also offer readers a Story of the Month that includes an interview with the writer whose work is selected for this feature.

“Starting a lit mag has always been a goal of mine,” says Editor-in-Chief Laura Shell. “Granted, I didn’t think I’d do this so soon in life, but one day in November, I just decided to go for it.”

Shell is herself a lover of all things horror, who, if she could listen to only one song for the rest of her life, would choose “The Mob Rules” by Black Sabbath. As far as her more literary credentials, Shell has published in numerous magazines and just celebrated the release of her first anthology of horror/paranormal stories, The Canine Collection: Horror Stories Spotlighting Man’s Best Friend, which draws upon her experience as a veterinary assistant.

Joining her at the helm is Assistant Editor Pam Mets, who combines her English degree with her love of all things horror, and Lead Reader Terry Strait, whose horror sensibilities guide the final selections and who advises, “If I can’t picture what you’re selling in my mind, then submit something else.”

For writers, Flash Phantoms accepts submissions through Submittable. “I read them first,” Shell explains, “and decide if a story is worthy enough to be sent to Pam and Terry. If Pam and Terry like the story as well, then I will notify the author that their story will be published. This process usually takes up to two weeks. We do not provide feedback, but I’m considering offering that service for a fee, perhaps later on in the year.”

The resulting selections are then published in an open-access online format, and each story is accompanied by related artwork or photography. Some inaugural contributors include Deborah Sale-Butler, Leah Scott-Kirby, Devin James Leonard, Laura Cody, Daniel Kipps, Kris Green, Rebecca Klassen, Benjamin Sperduto, Lori Green, Kim Moes, Dale L. Sproule, Max Tackett, Chris Scott, David Turnbull, and Hidayat Adams.

Looking forward, Shell hopes to add writer services and create a means to pay writers. For now, the publication hopes to entice more readers who might offer their highest praise: “That Flash Phantoms site is f**king kick ass.”

New Lit on the Block :: Meraki Review

Hey, readers and writers! There’s this incredibly beautifully crafted magazine online with a most seditious editor-in-chief. They’re pirates, on a mission to make teenage voices heard and counted. They sculpt, shape, and help these voices find themselves through writing.

According to Founder and Editor-in-Chief Meheru Alaspure, “This magazine is for the dreamers, the tortured souls who understand that writing is both a violent act that sears the skin and a sacred one that inscribes meaning upon it. Writing is rhapsody, adrenaline, and joy—the tide that rushes against the shores of pain and begins the healing.”

Publishing every four months, Meraki Review features poetry, fiction prose, creative non-fiction, memoirs, prose-poetry hybrids, and artwork online by both teens and adults for an international teenage readership.

Alaspure wants Meraki Review to be “a community where teenagers feel safe to express themselves freely, support one another, and inspire each other to improve. Together, we will form a global platform that shines a spotlight on hidden voices and their galvanizing stories. The word Meraki means to do something you love and are passionate about.

Magazine Stand :: Consequence – Volume 16.2

Consequence Volume 16.2 is full of beautiful and thought-provoking prose, poetry, and visual art that addresses the consequences of war and geopolitical violence. This issue is focused on voices and perspectives from the BIPOC community through a special featured section.

Here’s what poet, artist, and Guest Editor, Marcus Jackson, had to say about the feature: “The editing team and I agreed this issue’s BIPOC Feature should be borderless and present writers and artists who self-identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color from across the globe, not just North America, as diasporas wonderfully outreach regional and continental parameters.

“In this installment of Consequence, the voices range valiantly from stark documentation to elaborate styles and structures, though they all share a sincere belief the written word and the visual image can transcend the horror and grief of geopolitical violence. The profound care and the unblinking courage of the writers and artists in this feature are the enduring reflections and testimonies of communities whose humanity and luminosity refuse to be dimmed by empires’ ruthlessness.“

The Winter 2024 issue of Cool Beans Lit celebrates the philosophy of Yutori, a form of decluttering your personal space and mind. It’s a Japanese-originated practice of slowing down to give oneself more spaciousness or room to breathe in order to recharge and rejuvenate the senses. A clear mind can also inspire one to explore new genres of writing and art.

In Cool Beans Lit Volume 2 Issue 1, editors are proud to bring readers 31 unique contributors who range from brand new authors and artists to well-established creators with many published works. Authors hail from all corners of the globe, including one who is currently unhoused and sharing his reality in eye-opening detail. The issue features poetry by Arvilla Fee, Marc Meierkort, Alan Perry and Grant Shimmin; prose by Angela Townsend and Li Ruan; and visual art by Kelly DuMar, Nuala McEvoy and Robin Young.

To read and experience art is to walk in another person’s shoes and experience new thoughts and events that stay with you long after reading. It’s a way of channeling a deeper connection to others and gaining greater compassion. This new issue of Cool Beans Lit aims to do just that.

Cover Art: Feel No Evil by Robin Young

Blink-Ink Issue #58 is themed “UFO” – just at a time when we think we’ve seen it all. But have we? Jimmy Carter saw one. So did Ronald Reagan. Harry Truman never saw one but worried about them.

How about you?

Answering the question – and the call for submissions – two dozen contributors offer their ‘visions’ in “approximately 50 words,” including Ewen Glass, Carolyn R. Russell, Jacqueline A. Seaberg, Tanya Azarenko-Schram, Frederick Melancon, Birdie, Catfish McDaris, Giulietta Nardone, Sarah Meade, Ujjwala Kaushik, Daryl Scroggins, and Richie Narvaez. Cover art by Anne Anthony.

Magazine Stand – Colorado Review – Fall/Winter 2024

Editor Stephanie G’Schwind opens the Fall/Winter 2024 Colorado Review noting that, by the time readers have this issue in hand, the elections will have passed, acknowledging that “many of us are particularly on edge about what lies ahead for our country, for our world. . .

Huges, Kim Hyesoon, Nyds L. Rivera, Ayesha Raees, and J C Talamantez.

G’Schwind closes, “These are not stories and essays in which fear and anxiety are nearly conquered. But they are works that show us how we survive our fears. As Graybeal writes, ‘I have come to make my home beside that fear.’ And perhaps that is enough.”
