John Madera’s The Chapbook Review, “a monthly online literary journal focused on the critical examination of the venerable chapbook,” launched today with interviews and reviews from Blake Butler, Christopher Higgs, Sean Lovelace, Matthew Simmons, Tobias Carroll, and many more.
Read my review of Alan Catlin’s Only the Dead Know Albany here. “Catlin’s Albany is rain-streaked and snow-glazed, a ‘city paralyzed / moving forward slowly on bent wheel rims.’”
Don’t miss Nicolle Elizabeth’s fantastic, “goopy, sticky” review of Shya Scanlon’s Poolsaid.
John couldn’t be more right in his assumption that “the time is ripe for not only the production of chapbooks, pamphlets, and minicomics by innovative writers (prose writers following poets’ massive lead) and presses, but also for a venue offering critical examination of the work.” I am honored to be involved.
