M. David Hornbuckle has started a new online journal: Steel Toe Review.
From their manifesto:
“Tradition means something more than just doing the same things that people before you did with slight variations. Tradition provides a set of conventions and a set of expectations, and all of these can be reinterpreted and remolded and put to new uses. At Steel Toe Review, we strive to find literary and multimedia art that challenges and re-invents traditions.”
Wouldn’t you have liked to be in the first issue of elimae or Pindeldyboz or Word Riot? We never know where these new online journals will go, if they will explode or even survive, but surely they cannot do either without good submissions.
It’s probably worth noting that it’s a journal of “Contemporary Southern Art and Literature,” and that “preference is given to writers, artists, and subject matter with some connection to the Birmingham area.”
Thanks for mentioning that A D, though I also get the impression that they are game for any good writing…
Yes, I like that part of their intention is “to provide a vehicle through which Alabama artists and artists from elsewhere can connect and find common ground.”
