A new online zine with an old-fashioned name
Wednesday August 31, 2005
from Tony Tost, editor of Fascicle, (with thanks to Kent Johnson of the NewPoetry list for forwarding the announcement):
You may know the word “fascicle” (“small bundle,” or “short sections of a book published separately”) from school studies of Emily Dickinson. Now the first edition of a very modern magazine, the Web-based Fascicle, is here, and it’s stuffed with many interesting bundles from around the world: “a special portfolio of poems on poetry by Hebrew poets from Spain & Provence (12th - 15th c.) translated by Peter Cole... two chapbooks, Duncan’s Spiders by Paul White, and Quasi Flanders, Quasi Extremadura by Andris Ajens, translated by Erin Mouri... a unique feature, local poetry news from 18 different locales/scenes”... interviews, critical essays, and lots of new poetry from across the globe, with an emphasis on translation, from Pessoa to Du Fu, Sextus Propertius to Ece Ayhan. Do you listen to world music? This is truly world poetry.
