RIP Eyeshot
EYESHOT IS OVER
Nearly ten years exactly after conception, Eyeshot is over for now. We have not much e-enthusiasm, and we rarely read “online lit,” so why provide it? Books are where it’s at! Real live bound specimens you can throw across the room. Buy one today! Like the Hunger Artist, Eyeshot now melts into the straw of its cage, so it can be replaced by a lively panther. The site will not disappear. The archives will remain. This home page here may sometimes propagate the editor‘s purposes. If you’re feeling nostalgic, here’s a collection of some of the more popular things posted here. Thanks to everyone who ever contributed, submitted, or visited. Lates for now. More later . . .
Good luck and best wishes Lee Klein for a decade of dedication, and for being one of the first to get this “online lit” thing started. I feel like any more commentary on this would only get us in trouble. I appreciate Eyeshot very much — as I think many of us do — and will say “thank you.”

Fuckin’ Lee! Now I have to be rejected by less interesting people.
Thanks for a decade, Lee. I hope you do something new and just as interesting.

Eyeshot was one of the first places to publish me, too. I’m sorry to see it end, but also excited to see what Lee Klein cooks up next.

to call this the end of an era is an understatement. lee did it his way all the way, and that was the right way for sure. onward, lee — it’s the only way!

Don’t be sad.
I have a strong psychic hunch that many many interesting people will be willing to reject you enthusiastically.
