I hope you'll go check out Red Lion Sq.,
a new venue for poetry co-edited by two Spalding MFA graduates- Amy Watkins and Jae Newman. What makes this publication so special? Format. As a "weekly podcast," the magazine's mission is to "bring the oral element back into literary poetry, making it more accessible and friendlier to a general audience." Launch date June 1. If you're a poet, consider submitting to this exciting project. If you enjoy reading poetry, you can already read some fine work on the "poems" page. Literary mags come and go, but the talent, motivation, and design behind this project make it clear that Red Lion Sq. will be an amazing magazine, as well as a significant force in spreading poetry to new audiences.

Great! I'm so glad you posted about this new mag. I had thought to do so, too. I think I will submit. It totally changes the thought-process for submitting, I just noticed when, as I was typing this, I thought about what to send. Some of my weirder works that do not work so well on the page alone might be just right. Thanks, Matt! Hope you are well.
