Dispatch Thirteen: Words and Song

dllogoFrom PH Madore:

dispatch thirteen has arrived to a largely silent reception party. It is the first issue to feature a song in addition to the story. It won’t be the last. Unless something goes wrong, it’s going to be a regular feature.

Well, not quite so silent. The song is “Midnight! (I’m Not Famous Yet)” by Mike Young’s music project thing, The Cinnamon Urns.

Dispatch Thirteen features a story by Duncan Whitmire called “La Place d’Albertas.”

Here is an excerpt:

We met while she was studying abroad in New York. I gave a guest lecture at her school and she approached afterwards with some schmuck wearing horn rimmed glasses and a thrift store blazer. Later I saw her again, alone, in the lobby, and we exchanged email addresses. Her name was Grace and she wrote three months later, from Aix. The timing was right and I hopped the first plane over.

Enjoy the read/listen, and contact Madore through dispatch litareview if you’ve got an idea for the next issue.

      That’s a really beautiful song, Mike Young. Nicely made.

      I think it’s cool for literary journals to put out songs to accompany their releases. Good job everybody.

      I am a fan of Mike Young’s music. He’s what you call “a special talent.”
