Here are a bunch of Lit Magazines that I’ve been checking out.

Dirt Press features short fiction, poetry, and visual arts. Plus it looks cool.

Dislocate is a new media journal from students in the MFA program in Creative Writing at the University of Wisconsin.

I think most people are familiar with Swink by now, the new magazine of fiction, poetry, etc.

Another familiar new magazine is n+1, which delighted many. It comes out only twice a year right now. But they post new stuff on their site fairly often.

I received a copy of Ninth Letter at my office and immediately devoured its glossy pages. It is a collaborative effort between the Department of English and the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

And then there is Monkeybicycle, which I know the Rake loves for its logo alone. Besides the cute monkey, they have tons of interesting fiction and poetry.

These a some of the distractions for me at work this year. I just thought I would share.
