I'm really enjoying this issue. It's really nice to encounter so much poetry, which often gets the short end, if it gets an end at all. "the cable car seesawed in arpeggio defibrillation of San Francisco’s alien heart" Good stuff. The cover is absolutely mesmerizing. I've been looking for a good candidate for a page that loads when I open the browser, just so the interwebs will seem to be inviting me into worlds of delight, fascination and beauty ... instead of gauntlets of advertising, popups, blurts of vitriol/illogic/etc. I daresay lit.cat 19's cover is the strongest candidate I've found for this role so far.
It's bizarre to see this comment, because this morning I sent out a job description to hand off the editor-in-chief position for the journal. I'm eager to finally get this guilt ball of a project off me, but I still get a lot of joy from hearing what people think of it as a project. Thanks for the comments you left, they make me feel like I'm ending the project on a good note.
Wow, gotta love the timing! I was thinking of submitting, but no reason I can't still. Congrats on your impending freedom. Hopefully the experience will continue to inform and reward you long after you have escaped the drudgery aspects of it. And I'm glad to have provided some well-earned gratification, even if it falls into the too little too late category. Time to focus on new projects?
