Issue Two Review

some kind words:

Another fine showing–great editorial eye. That Father luke poem is one of my favorite poems of 2008! nibble is a strong, fast horse straight out of the gate! Fantastic stuff.
-Hosho McCreesh

just got issue 2 and it’s a monster.  love the father luke and the justin.barrett.  exceptional work from two incredible writers.  and the list of names in the issue is impressive ta boot.  great work.
- Christopher Cunningham

Good stuff between the covers. I especially enjoyed the poems of Alan Catlin and Hugh Fox.
- John Grey

Great issue. Great images by Christopher Cunningham. Enjoyed Richard Krech a lot.
- Michael Brownstein

the second issue of nibble arrived yesterday, and it’s every bit as good as the first. great poetry by christopher cunningham, Father Luke, Richard Krech, Christopher Robin and many more. great stuff.
- justin.barrett

Got the second bite of nibble today.  Quantum leap in production.  Keep it up. It is so fine to read poetry by someone you have heard read previously that you like.  Hugh Fox was out here in May for a series of readings we put on, and I can really hear him reading his sleep poem.  Keep on nibbling…
- Richard Krech

Thanks for #2.  Good show all around.
- Alan Catlin

Great selection of poems. I especially enjoyed “The Family Picture” by Doug Holder and “There were three of us that night” by Father Luke.
- Eric Burke

THE REVIEWS ARE POURING IN!

nibble came in the mail today.  Some excellent work, and some people I have never read before that I hope to see more of in the future.

Got issue #1 today, read it in the john. Some solid stuff. Liked Cunningham’s “low rumble of poetry” and Kate Well’s ”Monday.” Such a sharp image!

Thanks, mom…

 

Alright gang, here it is.

 

Today is the official launch date of nibble.

 

Mark your calendar, tattoo it on your arm: July 14, 2008

 

Those of you kind enough to send your poetry and those of you wise enough to send your greenbacks will be greatly rewarded in the next few days. Keep checking that mailbox.

 

The advanced buzz is encouraging. Friends, family and that homeless guy in front of my work who sings songs from the 30’s and 40’s badly off key all think it looks fine and the poetry is wonderful.

 

Here are some quotes:

 

“Wow, looks great. I’ll read it tonight.”

 

“Look at that…nice.”

 

“Great stuff, but what’s with the bike?”

 

“You put that together in a hurry…but it looks pretty good. And the poetry is solid.”

 

“The poetry is short.”

 

“What no poems from the editor? Oh, sorry. Writer’s block?”

 

“I’ve actually heard of some of these people, most of these people.”

 

“What the f**k. Why don’t you publish something other than poetry? You know that s**t gives me a headache.”

 

Thanks,mom!

 

Anyway, let us know what you think. Honestly.

 

FYI: Issue two is nearly full. Can you believe it? We are stunned by the number of quality submissions we have seen. Kudos to you, small press poet, kudos to you.

 

(Of course, now that we’ve written that on the website, it’ll be October before the thing comes out!)

fill ‘er up

issue one is full!

thank you to everyone who submitted poetry for the first issue. nibble is truly a community effort and we couldn’t have done it without you.

now keep sending poems so we can fill issue two just as quickly.

while we have you here, might we suggest that you visit the ’subscriptions’ page? the link is to the right of this post. there you will find all the information you need to ensure that you don’t miss out on this wonderful first issue.

not ready to commit to a subscription? that’s fine, we understand. why not order a sample copy and see if you like nibble? you can always get the subscription later…

 

2nd bite

Editor’s Note:

Just wanted to post a note as we gear up for our first issue. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am to be the editor of this new project. Having overseen every aspect of two previous poetry journals (CannedPhlegm and Cranial Tempest), I can tell you that there is an immense amount of satisfaction in getting an issue out and hearing from the poetry community once it hits mailboxes. Plus this time around I have been promised that I only have to wear one hat - Editor.

I love the Internet and there are some great electronic literary jounals out there, but for me there’s nothing like the feeling of a paper and staple journal.  I am, however, thrilled to be up and running on the web and we have Word Press to thank for that.

We are enjoying the freedom and ease the webpage and email submissions have afforded us and fully expect feedback to come even more quickly, even more often and with greater honesty.

In hopes of encouraging anyone who might be on the fence about nibble as a new project, here is a short list of folks who will appear in issue number one (in no particular order): Christopher Cunningham, justin.barrett, Hosho McCreesh, Timothy Gager, Justin Hyde, Yvon Cormier, Rusty Barnes and Ed Galing.

How could I possibly put out an issue of nibble without Ed Galing. Or Christopher Cunningham who, when I was publishing chapbooks for CP Press, allowed me the honor of putting out the coolest chap ever: 18 Blue Collar Abstractions. I’ve still never seen anything like it!

My point is, with these folks on board we can’t go wrong, but we do need more poems! So send in your work and live forever in the pages of nibble, issue 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or…

–So endeth the motivational post–

1st bite
