A head’s up: writers who have enjoyed the On Earth As It Is project, and would like to try to write something for it, will soon have that chance. My co-editor and I will have open submissions through the month of April. (I’ll make note of it here and on our Facebook page.) Also, the work we choose will become the last round of updates for the site. The site will remain up and the stories available to be read, but we will no longer add to it.

Have you ever read an anthology straight through?

I’m thinking about trying it with this best of fence thing.

Mmmmmmmmm new Action Yes.

Let People Poems Just Let Them Already Okay Gawd

At The Faster Times, Lily Ladewig wrote a review of the Chapbook Festival. Good peoples man.

Electric Literature made Broadcastr, an app & site that lets you record stories and pin them to places. Start making it weird.

What are some good books that have happy endings and don’t suck shit?

I’m in love: Holy Warbles, 78 revelations, ethniquities, gospelarians, librarians, gloops, gleeps, magnetique tape, ost, dmt, kvlt, spectral string bands, psychedelique funkenfuzz, songbirds, disembodied voices, tape echo, plate reverb, lepyrlymns, field recordings, holy ghosts of electricity & cloven tongues of fire.

This Wednesday, at 9 PM EASTERN (that’s 6 on the west coast), we’ll have the return of the Live Giants online reading series for 2011, beginning with the fantastic double header of Noah Eli Gordon & Sommer Browning, in support of their new books The Source & Either Way I’m Celebrating. As always, all you gotta do is show up here at the site. You can RSVP at Facebook here and we’ll remind you. Two fantastic poets in your living room live. Don’t miss it.
