Talking Writing
Talking Writing is an online monthly literary magazine that supports writers and those interested in literature by encouraging creative discussion of the writing process. Each issue of Talking Writing features the work of a poet, a fiction or creative nonfiction writer, and a visual artist or photographer. TW includes long reviews and personal essays, pieces that are often hard to place in print. We are committed to a new kind of magazine, one that’s dynamic, talky, inspiring, and not too dusty.
Telephone
The journal is called Telephone, like the children’s game in which phrases change as you whisper them from one person to the next. We feature a handful of poems from one foreign poet in each issue, which are then translated roughly ten times by multiple different poets and translators. There are no rules about how each poem should be translated and we are hoping to solicit a variety of interpretations.
