Crack Poetry
 prose, interviews, and reviews. Edited and produced by Lauren Schiffman.

nocturnes (re)view of the literary arts
Edited and produced by giovanni singleton.
From singleton's introduction to the premiere issue: "nocturnes (re)view of the literary arts was born out of a sincere aspiration to have fun while also attempting to illuminate the vast range of creative voices that exists throughout the African Diaspora and other contested spaces. in this regard, nocturnes is dedicated to the exploration of spirit through innovative (i.e. experimental/avant-garde) critical and creative literary art. the journal serves as a forum for examining and celebrating the natural connections between diverse artistic mediums as expressed through visual and written language."

 

 

Tripwire 5 (Fall 2001)

Giscombe, giovanni singleton, and Julie Patton. Tripwire: A Journal of Poetics is edited by David Buuck and Yedda Morrison.
