Two New Online Literary Ventures
The online literary world gets richer every day, so much so that it’s hard to keep up with. Here are a couple of new and worthy entrants:
Kenyon Review Online. From the editor:
“KR Online, however, will definitely be more timely, published more quickly than we’re able to do with print. And the pieces here will also be a little more experimental, a little more “out there.” Who knows?—maybe a little sassier too.”
Okay, we’re watching. The new “Kenyon Review Online”, companion to the print journal.
p.s. If anyone from KR runs along this post, please note that your blog is virtually unreadable on a Mac. See image.

Wyatt Mason’s blog, Sentences, at Harper’s Magazine. I’m not sure why the major outlets manage to come up with boring titles for their blogs (Sentences, Paper Cuts, Jacket Copy, Shortstack), but Wyatt Mason is a writer I enjoy, a good critic and his first few posts look terrific, so Sentences is the next site to raise the overall quality of the literasphere.

Such a long time since I have read any Muldoon. I will look for that WZ poem. Thanks.

I love Ish (not least for his continued advocacy for children of war around the world) and Open Book TV. And of course Madiba is always great. I think I could have done with fewer mystical echoing flutes-of-sadness though.
About the ICC: such an important struggle, and so anathema to the idea of American Exceptionalism we are all raised on. That, along with the debate over humanitarian intervention, look to be the defining international issues of our time exactly because they cannot be reduced to simple dichotomies, or even unambiguous moral stances. By which I mean to say I’m looking forward to the film.

Bud—
Thanks for the attention here to KRO! We’re very excited about it, and hope KRO becomes a destination for readers. The work there deserves it.
Per the blog: we’ve had some recurring trouble with the KR blog displaying far off center in Safari. We’re working to fix the issue right now. Thanks for catching it and noting it here. Should be fixed soon.
And a condor feather in your cap for the work you do with this site—a favorite here.
