ANNOUNCING: The Planet Formerly Known As Earth
a new online magazine, edited by a group loosely associate with Ravenna Press, and tied to the Mayan calendar and the speculative end of the world on 12/21/2012. Not the least off-the-wall, it aims for high caliber work–interspersed among contributed work will be quotes from poems by Stevens, Hopkins, Merwin, Yeats, Niedecker, Kenyon, Roethke, Pessoa, Montale, Housman and many others–this site is meant for the contemplation of the larger subjects as opposed to tweets about what one is having with coffee.
The magazine will begin posting submitted work on 12/01/2010 and end, logically, on 12/21/2012 (except the archive, if we’re here to read it, and the book, if we’re here to produce it.) It is a kind of time capsule. Submissions and input are welcome as indicated on the page.
