The Weekly Atticus

This Week at Atticus Review

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

We're looking for poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and mixed media for our upcoming issue. Stay tuned to our Twitter for an upcoming free submissions day! We're also open for book reviews. Submit here! Remember to take a look at our previous issues for the type of work we publish. In bonus news, during our current open call for submissions, our wonderful poetry editors are also looking for poems for a special poetry-only folio to be released in February (just submit in our usual poetry category).

This week I'm highlighting more brilliant work from our recent issue: Katherine Gaffney's poem The World is the Goat Who Ate My Dress Clear Off My Body, Rachel Sudbeck's CNF piece Whatever We Are to Each Other, Siel Ju's Chef Grace, and Marie Craven's digital piece Metamorphosis.

On the Attic this week Heather MacLeod reviews Katy E. Ellis' poetry collection Home Water, Home Land: A Prose Poem and managing editor Keene Short interviews Kristine Langley Mahler about her debut essay collection Curing Season, out now from WVU Press. In future weeks, we'll have further news about our flash fiction contest, a new monthly column, and other articles about the writing life.

Remember you can always visit the Atticus Headquarters in Arizona. Stop by for a chat and pick up a book or record at Atticus Books & Music.

Until next time, thanks so much for reading.

THIS WEEK AT ATTICUS

BOOK REVIEW

Dislocated: Book Review of Katy E. Ellis’ prose poem, HOME WATER, HOME LAND

Heather Simeney MacLeod

"Ellis’ poetic autobiography doesn’t map the internal floundering towards maturity. Instead, this work is an atlas of the externalized interruption beginning with Ellis’ excommunication."

NEW FROM THE ATTIC

THE BORDER BETWEEN TRUTH AND "TRUTH" 

An Interview with KRISTINE LANGLEY MAHLER, whose debut collection CURING SEASON is out now with WVU Press.

"I use those other texts to specifically make elbow room for myself and my voice, and in doing so, I hope I am demonstrating to others that there is a way to make space for their voices as well."
