Good stuff! I want to read the publication.

I will let you know when it is out - I expect around December. It is a print-only magazine called PRIMITIVE done by a press called Anklebiters which is closely associated somehow with Whatever, Mom.

What is really cool is that both my brother and I will have work published in the issue. It's a Science Fiction Double Feature!

In fact, to shamelessly plug something I think is really cool, Anklebiters and Whatever, Mom worked together to create and publish a book-ish that my brother created. It's up at their store, called New Sky. In my totally unbiased opinion, my brother has been doing some really cool things with media/mixed forms in his creative writing work. Skymall, or "New Sky" as they've called it, is one example of that - he took Skymalls, cut them apart, and created collages from various images. Interspersed between the collages are some of his poems (which are not very much like mine in style). My brother has always tended towards political and/or social commentary in his writing whereas that type of writing has always proved difficult for me.

The best thing about "New Sky," though, is it's in color. His first Sky Mall he entirely produced himself on copier machines and such and it was all black and white. The color makes a huge difference and is just really cool for someone used to seeing his magazine without any. I kinda have been wanting to plug "New Sky" on Hubski but wasn't sure how.

In fact, here's a sneak preview. Just look at it. Think about it. Check it out.

(But seriously tng I'll let you know when Primitive 2 comes out and such.)
