Chapbook Publisher of Note

All of us here are poets and writers, so I figured it might be interest to pass on a link to cool small publisher of chapbooks. Their name is Tilt press and they have produced a couple pretty nice little books. For those of you feeling happy enough with your manuscript it might be a worthwhile place to send your stuff.

Tilt Away Here


Don't forget that we can still use this place to publish stuff for workshopping. Oh, and a big congrads to the Powers family and their own little piece of the American Plains.

Randomness as Winter Sets in.

I hope everyone is doing well still. No new postings so I can assume that everyone is quite busy. Thankfully Turkey Day will be upon us soon. I just wanted to quickly post a few worthwhile links for you guys.

Every Montana State English Alum should care that READ THIS has posted their most recent issue online. It features some pretty good stuff including a couple of pieces by our own mr. powers. Check it out at here.

Also, I spent the weekend giving a session at BGSU's Winter Wheat Festival and spent sometime chatting with a few of the table people there. Prairie Margins is one of BGSU's publications and is quite similiar to READ THIS. One of their editors said they would love more submissions, here's their website.

Additionally, if any own might be interested in a MFA and would be willing to move to Ohio, the NEOMFA looks like a pretty cool and relatively unknown program. I talked to several writers in Bloomington as well as some the students involved with it and sounds like its a solid up and comer. the link here.

The publication Whisky Island Review is out of the same system and had some pretty cool stuff in it. It was a well put together magazine and would be a great place to send your stuff. Click here. That is all for now.

Brautigan and Keeler


I just found this picture on-line after starting Brautigan's Revenge of the Lawn Collection. Look at Keeler looking all cowboy serious. Also, I've added Brautigan's epic murder-detective tale "The Scarlatti Tilt"

"The Scarlatti Tilt"
by Richard Brautigan

"It's very had to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play the violin." That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.
