Atlas & Alice, again!

Online literary journals come and go. Beginning with fierce intent and clear vision, some fold before, or just after, the first issue is published. Glamorous from the outside, like owning a restaurant, perhaps, the issue-after-issue grind of details and timelines and personalities often turn out to be more than the founders bargained for, to say nothing of the pay.

While online journals don’t have the long history of print journals (or, often, the resources of university or foundation support), they offer a nimble counterpoint to print, publishing work that may be technically challenging or experimental before print journals can do so. When an online journal sticks around through all the challenges, it’s evidence of faith and grit and a sense of humor. Atlas & Alice has been around since 2013. They published my visual poems in 2015, again in 2021, and today Atlas & Alice is featuring one of my Emily poems on their website and on Twitter. I salute Benjamin Woodard and his editorial team and am honored to be included in their enduring vision.
