Can Flarf Ever Be Taken Seriously?
by Shell Fischer
July/August 2009
Almost a decade after its creation, the experimental poetry movement Flarf—in which poets prowl the Internet using random word searches, e-mail the bizarre results to one another, then distill the newly found phrases into poems that are often as disturbing as they are hilarious—is showing signs of having cleared a spot among the ranks of legitimate art forms.

Oulipian Feats: Postcard from New York City
by Jean Hartig
On April 1 I had the joy of being in the audience at the New School in New York City for a reading by six poets of the Oulipo, or Ouvroir de littérature potentielle ("workshop of potential literature"), a writers group founded in France in 1960 by writer and mathematician Raymond Queneau and scientist François Le Lionnaisnown.

An Interview With Poet Cathy Park Hong
by Joshua Kryah
Cathy Park Hong is a poet interested in the porous boundaries between languages and cultures. In her newest collection, Dance Dance Revolution (Norton, 2007), winner of the 2006 Barnard Women Poets Prize, Hong creates a poem sequence that takes place in a future city called the Desert. It is in this tourist town, modeled on the likes of Las Vegas and Dubai, that Hong introduces the Guide, an amalgam of new and extinct English dialects, Korean, Latin, Spanish, and other miscellaneous pidgins. Acting as the reader's escort, Hong uses the Guide to address the issues of identity, both personally and geographically, in an increasingly globalized world.

From the Databases
20x20 magazine
20×20 magazine is a square platform for writings, visuals and cross-bred projects. Rather than on a theme, each issue is assembled around meta-words to be interpreted, researched, illustrated according to a loose, wide and multi-angled perspective. The magazine includes 3 sections:
Words – in the shape of fiction, essays, poetry
Visions – drawings, photography and visual projects
The Blender – where words and visions cross paths
amphibi.us
amphibi.us is looking for inventive, incendiary fiction, prose and poetry that lights everyone's eyes on fire. We want the stuff that you couldn't stop yourself from writing, the stuff that your mother told you was not poetry. We want the clean stuff, the dirty stuff, and everything in between. We update (nearly) daily, established and unknown writers alike.
Asymptote
Asymptote is an exciting new international journal dedicated to literary translation and bringing together in one place the best in contemporary writing. We are interested in encounters between languages and the consequences of these encounters. Though a translation may never fully replicate the original in effect (thus our name, “asymptote”: the dotted line on a graph that a mathematical function may tend towards but never reach), it is in itself an act of creation.
Burner Magazine
Burner is that girl. She's witty, pretty, and doesn't dumb herself down. By day, she's a kindergarten teacher and by night, dances gogo. Inspired by fellow revolutionaries from John Lennon to Virginia Woolf, she's a muse and amusing, compelling and never complacent. The Burner girl gets hot and bothered by the Marquis de Lafayette, aspires to redefine the zeitgeist like Nietzsche, and provokes thought like Margaret Atwood.
Headmaster
Headmaster, the biannual art magazine for man-lovers, is published twice a year in an edition of 1,000. All work in Headmaster is assigned by the editors. Writers and artists interested in receiving homework assignment from the editors should submit a bio and writing samples via email. Headmaster publishes roughly five text-based pieces per year. Work published in the first two issues of Headmaster include erotica, film criticism, travel writing and memoir. The editors of Headmaster are interested in other forms of writing as well.
Midway Journal
Midway Journal accepts submissions of aesthetically ambitious work that occupies the realms between both the traditional and experimental.
