The Weekly Atticus

This Week at Atticus Review

A recap of the week's writing at Atticus Review. Intro by Christopher Linforth.

We're very happy this week at Atticus Review. Our first issue is now live! On the site you'll find six stories, eight poems, seven pieces of creative nonfiction, and two collections of videopoems. Please enjoy the issue and share widely.

Also, on the Attic this week, Nicole Yurcaba reviews Peter Stamm's It's Getting Dark. We also revisit Lucy Wilde's brilliant CNF piece "The Taming of Things."

Lastly, we're now open for our special Internet-themed issue. For this August issue, we're interested in the ways the advent of the Internet Age has influenced literature, altered our sense of being and sense of belonging, made us rethink connection and connectivity, and changed our daily lives. We're open to work that interrogates and celebrates contemporary online culture, and work that considers the intersections of digital technologies in our on- and off-screen lives. Though this may sound formal, we're very open to creative work that broaches Internet culture and Internet-influenced life, in more tangential and interesting ways. Consider submitting today!

THIS WEEK AT ATTICUS

NEW FROM THE ATTIC

Book Review: IT'S GETTING DARKbyNicole Yurcaba"Memory fails and blurs, reshapes with each retelling and recollection, and the actions of Stamm’s characters reinforce to readers that relationships are some of life’s most fragile threads."

FROM THE ARCHIVES

September 2021: THE TAMING OF THINGS by Lucy Wilde"Kathy smiles at somebody coming up behind me. I see his mirror image, wild black hair and dark eyes that move quickly, before I feel him beside me. He leans in to hear what Kathy is saying, his thigh pushed against mine. I don’t move away. She motions him to sit. He moves the stool next to mine."
