Heartbroken to learn today that Martha Silano has died. She was one of my favorite poets writing today. I had the honor to publish a number of her poems over the years in @northamerreview.bsky.social, and I'm in the midst of writing a life review of her work for @presencejournal.bsky.social 💔

Can someone invent a browser extension that automatically replaces their faces with a poem or something?

Attention, Swifties! NAR presents: Invisible Strings poetry reading and discussion, a free Zoom event. Register here: uni.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

As an editor, I LOVE seeing poems that first appeared in the NAR get the attention they deserve. Check out lithub.com/49-contempor... @literaryhub.bsky.social & "The Mannequin Leaves the Hospital for the Last Time Happy" by Angela Voras-Hills #poetry #listicle #bestof2024

Here’s an #EssayThread of eight example essays that I handed out to my Nonfiction Workshop students in our final workshop of the semester, which had thematic and craft similarities to their workshop drafts.

FWIW, since I had to look it up. The “white man” in this case is Twain, not Huck. The “Black friend” is Fred Douglas, not Jim.

Would love to publish something about dead/abandoned malls, in the US or elsewhere, especially if the writer had notable experiences in a specific mall that is now dead. It would need to do more than recount a story, exploring larger ideas: aesthetics, politics, economics, etc. #editorswishlist

Would love to publish a narrative on #graphology (handwriting analysis) in the US & the history of (rivalry between?) the American Association of Handwriting Analysts & the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation. I can imagine it as a hybrid essay/memoir by a nonexpert #editorswishlist

Would love to publish an essay on The Theatre of Eternal Music, something narrative not just academic musicology. Bring La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela, et al to life #editorswishlist

I would LOVE to publish scholarship and/or pedagogy on underrepresented nonfictionists we don't often see, especially in environmental nonfictionists like Robin Wall Kimmerer, Tim Robinson, Loren Eiseley, Lauret Savoy, and the list goes on! #editorswishlist

Would love to publish a narrative (essay, story, poem) of #MaryMacLane in NAR, maybe about sex(uality), maybe about cinema (Men Who Have Made Love to Me), maybe about diaries (I Await the Devil's Coming) #EditorsWishlist Tag your favorite lit mag editor asking them what's on their wishlist!

"It’s fall by the calendar, the days shortening, the nights lengthening. But the sun? Unrelentingly ripening. " One of my favorite poets @marthasilano.bsky.social has a new poem, "Ghazal for the Summer of 2023" northamericanreview.org/open-space/p...

Would love to publish an essay about Simone Weil in New York in 1942, something narrative, historical, but also about ideas, maybe memoir if it fits #SimoneWeil Let's hear what other CNF editors would like to see come over their transom #EditorsWishlist What about you @dintywmoore.bsky.social?

💙📚 One of my favorite novels this year. I rarely re-read novels, but this one is worth it. It's also short enough you can do it in an afternoon. It Lasts Forever and Then It's Over by Anne de Marcken www.ndbooks.com/book/it-last...
