Adam Robinson—

You have to admit it’s pretty funny that you can get the NEW KEYHOLE journal (#10) for $8, or just $5 if “you think literary journals are boring or that reading in general is boring.”

Adam Robinson—

The very cool Gabe Durham is taking over editorial duty of the very cool Keyhole Magazine.

Massive People (11): Peter Cole

josh-maday-peter-5th-ave

Peter Cole is the editor of Keyhole Magazine and Press, an entity that has gone from start up beginnings to massive and all over perhaps quicker than any other literary magazine that has ever existed. Based out of Nashville, Keyhole is not only a magazine, a website, a press for full length books, it also continues to push its horizons with any way it can get words into peoples hands, such as the Nashville is Reads project, which tapes poems to random locations in publics, and Keyhole Digest, freely distributed online and in real life.

In around 2 years they’ve released 7 full length print issues, maintained a steady flow of content on their website, released a full length book (William Walsh’s fantasticly odd and oddly moving Questionstruck) with plans for many more already lined up, several chapbooks, contests… so much output I can hardly even remember to list it all.

I asked Peter if I could ask him some questions about the start up of Keyhole and its ever expanding umbrella, and he kindly agreed.

Deal of the Week: Keyhole Magazine

Two news items from Keyhole Magazine:

1) The editors are offering a special discount this week only (November 10-17). You pay them $15 and they sign you up for a yearlong subscription. That’s four issues, if my math is correct. The subscription starts with Issue 6, so it looks like you’ll have to free up another $12 to purchase the nice-looking Handwritten Issue, but that shouldn’t be a problem, right?

2) And in week-old staff-related news, Molly Gaudry, of Willows Wept and Twelve Stories fame, has recently joined the Keyhole masthead as an editor (via Molly’s blog). Handshakes all around.
