The Midwest Chapbook Series - Deadline Extended
Please help get the word out. We're going to be gone from the offices for most of the month of July, so we've extended the deadline to AUGUST 1st, 2011. (Because of budget cuts, we've put all our money into production costs, and we've had to zero out our advertizing budget.)

A very relieving update...I was getting a little anxious.
Is Texas part of the Midwest?
Some midwestern writeres in here, announced by Josh Stanley, Brit transplant at Yale, currently. One of the most vibrating mags to emerge in past couple years:
>Sorry to cross post --
Dear eaters,
The summer sun glows on the bean sea that separates us all from the glottic love of the distant shore and the fiery rubber eraser of hope. At last, to you, in the end I am pleased as gunk to announce the publication of the second issue of Hot Gun!, a special issue on the work of Edward Dorn. You can find it here: http://www.hotgunjournal.com/ .
This issue of Hot Gun! contains across 126 pages i) a selection of poems by Timothy Thornton, Nour Mobarak, The Rejection Group, Francesca Lisette, John Wilkinson, Alexander Nemser, Jonty Tiplady, Luke Roberts and Justin Katko; and ii) a section of work on and by Edward Dorn, including essays by Reitha Pattison, John Armstrong, Kyle Waugh and Richard Owens; two unpublished poems by Dorn, “The Poem of Dedication” and “Osawatomie”, with notes by Justin Katko; and Dorn’s introductory note to The Book of Daniel Drew as well as an uncollected poem, “To Tom Pickard & the Newcastle Brown Beer Revolutionaries”. Most of this work was collected in early 2010. It costs 10 dollars in the US and 10 pounds international (postage is included in both prices). Friends, I am, mountebankishly doing the commodity shuffle, ever
Yours, Josh
