Ten Days Left to Widen Our Gyre

Genre shows can't get enough of Yeats

You know what sucks about the blood-dimmed tide? Fucking impossible to get out of corduroy.

So quit slouching towards Bethlehem (it’s bad for your spine) and get writing. You’ve got just ten days to send in your submission for our special poetry issue. Submissions close at midnight on June 1st. After that, the center just can’t hold.

OK, we’re going to go check to see if mere anarchy has been loosed, because if it doesn’t get out at least once a day, it soils the carpet.

P.S. If you’ve already sent us a great poem, reward yourself by reading our amazing May Issue.

What’s Five Times Seven?

For Issue 42, we’ve assembled nine stories that – whether they know it or not – address the meaning of life or possible lack thereof.

In an attempt to answer the mysteries of the universe, we welcome Tom Hutt, A.A. Garrison, Zac Goldstein, Jason Shults, and Kevin Tosca to our pages for the first time. They’re reinforced by old friends, Eirik Gumeny, M.R. Lang, Ryan Werner, and the incomparable y.t. sumner.

So don’t panic. Just remember your towel and dive into the May Issue of Jersey Devil Press.

Poetry WOW!

We don’t know much at JDP, but we do know this: if George Carlin were alive today and dressed like a Roman Catholic cardinal, he’d want you to submit to our special poetry issue. Because George loved words and…uh…poems are made up of words. So there. We’ve already accepted some great pieces, but might be able to squeeze a few more in. Don’t let your cool speculative poem be left behind all the other cool speculative poems. Just remember to check our guidelines first.
