Editorial Director K. Thomas Kahn published several hybrid pieces synthesizing criticism, poetry, and memoir, including a piece on snoring, sleep (and the lack thereof), and the consolations of reading at the end of a relationship in The Rumpus, and a piece on digital culture, intimacy, and unplugging in Berfrois. Recently, he wrote on British novelist Elizabeth Taylor’s work for Full Stop, and on Tomas Tranströmer’s poetics for The Quarterly Conversation; some of his poems and prose poems also appeared in Num éro Cinq.
Fiction Editor Joanna Walsh is currently in Mexico as part of the British Council Literature’s #UKMX15. Her book Hotel will be published by Bloomsbury in the US in September, and in the UK in November. Vertigo will be published in the US in October, and in the UK and Ireland in 2016. Grow A Pair will also be published in October. Flavorwire says “Walsh’s Vertigo may redistribute the possibilities of contemporary fiction, especially if it meets with the wider audience her work demands.” There’s a little more about her forthcoming books here.
Poetry Editor SJ Fowler‘s recent work includes: a performance at Tate Modern; a solo exhibition in Kings Cross Gallery; the publication of his 7th poetry collection, {Enthusiasm}; a residency at Wellcome Collection: Hubbub; a program of performances in collaboration with Wellcome Library entitled Soundings; and tours of Wales and Croatia.
