writers (and readers) might enjoy looking at it. Got something you think I
might like? Send it on!
- What can I say about m e l t
y?
Claiming to be the "'zine for bad seeds", it's chock full of good ideas
and sensible mess from your hostess with the dreamy eyes (and good fashion
sense too). Especially worth a read are the pieces on Diary of a Feminist Sell-Out and
Melty goes to Vegas.
- For my money, Haruki Murakami
is one of the best writers on the planet. If you haven't heard of him or
read anything by him, imagine this: parboiled Japanese detective fiction.
But that's not even the tip of this iceburg. Go on, look at this
page and come back later (maybe). And don't forget to support your local
independent bookstore.
- Ready to write the story of your life or just want to jot down some
tales from last summer? Can't remember what all you did, or have done? On
first look, Bob Wendlinger's Memory
Triggering Corner for Writers was a little wacky - but it offers
mind-focusing tips on how to eke specifics of Uncle Sal's holiday picnic
in 1982 out of your memory vaults. Includes an interesting tale on the
father of all memory-triggerers, Marcel Proust.
- The writing
of Mike Capps has
some true-to-life and very realistically described imagery. Thumbs up.
- The writings of Dr. Zeus are
provoking and mesmerising.
- The RICHH Archives. If you have not seen anything written by RICHH or heard of him at all, ever, RUN DO NOT WALK and attempt to justify your worthless puny life.
(Basically, the man is a demi-god. Mmm.)
- Glimmer Train. As someone once
put it, "You still have to buy the paper version for entire pieces and the
covers look like Highlights magazine done by the Junior League but the
content floors me".
- From the Universal Black Press comes the Written
Word, a collection of etexts on the Internet written by and for
blacks worldwide. Everything from culture to conflict to recommended
readings and more.
- Urban
Diary. It reads like a crumpled piece of corrugated cardboard left on a
sewer grate in winter.
- Screenwriters &
Playwrights -- Resources for the commercial money-loving beast in
every writer.
- vampyr's
box of
roses is, sadly enough, out of commission. If anyone can find his new
address, please let me know.
- Oyster
Boy, a literary zine of uncanny rapport. (They also had
the wonderous sense to publish a poem of mine, _coffee_.)
- The Georgetown Gonzo, a
satire magazine distributed at - very good! - Georgetown University in
Washington. D.C. It's not been updated in ages; perhaps you could mail
the editors & complain! :-)
- BeatriceWWW, a
site put together and administered by Ron Hogan. Featuring a reworking of
the Tao te Ching
by Jesse Garon. Other poets/writers are featured as well.
- Database
of poetry at N. C. State.
- Poetry
server at Carnegie Mellon University. Also available there is the English Server. Lots of
info. Lots.
- Toi
Derricotte and Buddy Norton can be found at this web site at Pitt
University.
- My former teacher and venerable SunSITE dude Paul Jones' chapbook, What the Welsh and Chinese Have in
Common, only available (for those who can't find it in a used
bookstore) on-line. Last I checked, there was a copy at the Skylight
Exchange in Chapel Hill. But I hid it, so I can go back and get it. ;-)
- Verbiage
magazine hosts "great fiction since 1994". Check it out.
- The Tech Classics
Archive is a searchable collection of over 400 classical Greek and
Roman texts (in English translation). Hot dang.
- The Commonplace Book, an
"edited collection of striking passages noted in a single place for future
reference".
- From the RhetNet
philosophy: "RhetNet is a concerted effort to keep in touch with print
roots but not be anchored to them".
- Mike Dodds' homepage, featuring poetry and prose.
