Web Lit Roulette #1

A new feature for this blog - Web Lit Roulette is a semi-random selection of literary highlights from the net. It’s impossible to sum up everything that’s happening online so I can only report on things I’ve discovered.

This first entry comes from www.poetrymagazines.org.uk, a large and expanding archive of out-of-print poetry magazines from the 20th and 21st Centuries (mainly from the last 15 years). You could spend hours and hours on this site, and it’s difficult to select particular highlights, but here are some things I like:

Pervert by Thomas McColl (from Global Tapestry Journal)

Decree Absolute by Rachel Kerr (from Rain Dog)

The Mushroom Woman by Geraldine Green (from Neon Highway)

Bluebottles by Fashion Penis (from The Ugly Tree)

Sir Osbert Sitwell, The Woman Who Could Not Die (from Poetry London Festival Issue, 1951)
