About me:

Issue 6 is: new stories by Peter Orner (with illustrations by his brother Eric Orner), Gary Amdahl, Sana Krasikov, and Preeta Samarasan; Peyton Marshall on celebrity family reunions; Keith Lee Morris on getting lost on purpose; Dubravka Ugresic on setting off alarms; Colleen Kinder on defining Iceland; and Martha Cooley on the sounds of silence. With new poems by Cathy Park Hong, Tom Yuill, Major Jackson, Billy Collins, and others, and translations by John Ashbery and Luc Sante. And in the Focus portfolio, the contradictory and combinatorial state of Italian literature. In stores very soon or order it online.

Who I'd like to meet:

A Public Space is the new independent magazine of literature and culture, founded by Brigid Hughes, the former Executive Editor of The Paris Review.

In an era that has relegated literature to the margins, we plan to make fiction and poetry the stars of a new conversation. Four times a year, we bring readers a collection of new authors and established talents.

We encourage writers to get away from their desks and investigate what intrigues them, explore, snoop around. There are no boundaries, and we will support writers wherever they take us.

The Village Voice has chosen A Public Space as its Best New Literary Magazine: "The ridiculously good debut issue of Brigid Hughes's literary quarterly, A Public Space, featured fiction from Kelly Link and Charles D'Ambrosio, short pieces from Anna Deavere Smith and Rick Moody, and eye-opening Japan portfolio, and as they say, much, much, more. If you didn't pick it up, you'll have to check eBay, since it's completely sold out. A Public Space effortlessly leaps to the first rank of literary journals, which is to say, a publication worth subscribing to in order to avoid newsstand-sellout despair."

CONTRIBUTORS’ NEWS

Nam Le and Preeta Samarasan were both selected for Poets & Writers’ annual roundup of star debuts in the July/August issue, Nam for his collection of stories The Boat, Preeta for her novel Evening Is the Whole Day.

THE BROOKLYN BOOK FESTIVAL

Join A Public Space at the third annual Brooklyn Book Festival on Sunday, September 14 for a day of readings, panel discussions, and books, books, books! APS editors and contributors will be at Borough Hall in downtown Brooklyn all day. Stop by and say hi!

Ani DiFranco & T Cooper in conversation




Sunday, November 18th @ 3PM Sharp!
$10 Admission
Ani DiFranco: A Conversation on "Verses"
A Benefit for Bluestockings Bookstore
(at Judson Memorial Church in New York City)

Come out to enjoy an engaging conversation between Ani DiFranco and author T Cooper about music, prose, resolve, solitude, politics and love. Advanced tickets are still available from HERE


A beloved and fiercely independent musician, Ani DiFranco has now reached into the literary world with book of poetry and paintings which captures her essential artistry. "Ani DiFranco: Verses" (Seven Stories) rages, eulogizes, menaces, revels and envisions. An outspoken voice of conscience over the last twenty years, Ani DiFranco's voice remains sharp and unflinching.

The doors for this event open at 2:30PM, and seating is general admission.
Judson Memorial Church is located at 55 Washington Square South in Greenwich Village.

Come out to support Bluestockings and enjoy this fantastic event.

Hi there!

Thanks for being a myspace-friend!

Are you interested in audiobooks?
I was wondering whether you had a minute to check out my shortstory “Sofia in the Sand”.
You can listen to the narrated text of the story on my profile. If you hate german accents ;) you should read the story in my blog, just a mouse click away...

The german version of “Sofia in the Sand” originated as the result of a writing competition of the travel section of the “taz” (a German daily newspaper) that appeared in the concurrent anthology of beach stories (“Strandgeschichten”) by Hans Schiler Publishers. Also on the literature portal “Titel-Magazin” as well as in “Footage – Magazin für Fußball und Popkultur” (a magazine for football and pop culture). What would one call something like this? Perhaps a mini audio book or an audio short story.
Cheers,
seb.


“So compassionate literature can be! A beautiful miniature story with a big final, clearly written. Light – and slightly melancholic.” (Editorial department of the “Titel-Magazin” about the german vesion of “Sofia in the sand")

Thank you for checking out my music and poetry. Blessings, Richard

I am pregnant and I am not embarassed, and I refuse
to defend myself before the disappointed.
My babies have not been fathered by the patriarchy,
but they are not bastards.
I am not busy in commerce-- I am not a landlord
or collector or provider,
but they will never be abandoned.

I am going to live in a forest where moss bathes my toes
and makes slippers for trees and pillows of stones;
I am going to deny concrete and its fumes;
I am going to swim every swell of my heart; for it is good
for my babies.
I am going to learn not to worry.
I am going to learn to listen to my fingers
and dismember every gate which does not allow the seeds
of wind and rain and light.

I am so pregnant I cannot see my feet, but my path
leads me.
When a poem comes through me, I embrace its vortex
and adore its apparitions and whisper
every word of its appendages
into song.

And when voices will no longer echo
from the bones of my back, sleep will make me a baby
in a belly again.
