Drag City begins a journal
really? huh.
wonder if it's any good.
i'm guessing it's lyrically cagey but tender and evocative, laden with sparse guitar lines and off-kilter vocals.
oh, wait....nevermind.
MOONLIT
Issue #1
Book (46pp)
MoonLit is a new arts journal whose inaugural issue is a knockout combination of writing and artwork including crossover talents from the new music scene along with poetry’s rising stars. MoonLit is the brainchild of two Naropa University writing program alums, poets Lisa Janssen and Claire McMahon. Not finding anything they liked in the existing crop of “new” journals, they decided to take matters into their own hands. They obeyed no stylistic limitations and gathered together a far flung group of fourteen contributors from all walks of creative endeavor including David Berman, Neil Hagerty, Gillian McCain, Bill Callahan, Bill Berkson, Eleni Sikelianos, Philip Jenks and others. These parts equal a whole that is wild and fun, heartbreaking and strange. And a quick read at that.
p.s. Criticism is actually much cooler when i don't need a secret decoder ring to know what it's aimed at.
Who are the existing crop of "new" journals that's supposedly getting spanked by this one?
Send me your top five guesses.
I'll choose my favorites and the winner will recieve a copy of...something.
It'll be good.
In the meantime, if you've seen MoonLit [O' blended capitals] let me know if i should shell out the $7.

Neil Hagerty might sink it.
