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.

One of the reasons I publish online!

on “Would He Do it Again?”
Last year Derrick Brown did living room readings. I don’t think anyone there had ever read his poetry; I had barely been introduced a few days before. http://vimeo.com/6013960
Compared to any staged, stacked or emceed poetry reading, well, it was kind of like learning you hadn’t ever had good sex.
Granted, he’s a more engaging poet than many, and he reads poems that should be read aloud, like they should sound. I still think that a lot of the intimacy would have been lost in any a more austere setting.
As a listener, it had a profound and searing impact; if I could speak for the non-poetry-reading kind, I’d say they could not help but connect with this living poetry that was funny and sad and sweet and took you somewhere.

Awesome! I always loved Sontag’s ‘Notes On Camp’. Lucid and concise.

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.
