Alice Blue Where Are You

Alice Roosevelt, whose blue dresses defined the color Alice Blue, seen here wearing (nice job, internet) yellow.

One of my favorite online litmags is the rather low profile Alice Blue Review. They publish both fiction and poetry, and their aesthetic reminds one pleasingly of mint leaves, gangplanks, polar bears, and polar bears who hitchhike.

Sadly, their site has been down the last few weeks. I emailed their Poetry Editor Amber Nelson about this sadness and she emailed me back:

Mike

Thanks for your concern! alice blue is not dead! We know there is a problem and are working on it. It should be back up shortly.

thanks again!
amber

So there you are. Thanks Amber! Alice Blue fans: Worry about something else! It’s the Wild West and do you know where your magnolias are.
