Incendiary Lit

Incendiary Literature and Culture is online for your enjoyment. There will be daily writing exercises MFA program profiles, interactive polls, literary essays (that may be used as source material for any essays you may write *wink wink*), submission calendars for both literary magazine’s regular submission deadlines, as well as contests (in the works); interviews with poets, novelists, short fiction writers, screenwriters, editors, MFA directors; reviews of books, movies, cds, tv shows and perhaps even a mime interpretation or two, who knows. Anything that directly affects us as writers in the modern era. Incendiary Literature Press is conducting its first annual chapbook contest, and each entrant (with enclosed SASE) will get a good amount of feedback, as well as a copy of the winning chapbook, which we hope will encourage more students to submit their work, as some of the finest work we’ve read have been from students, not only in MFA programs, but also still just working on their BA’s, who are sorely lacking in confidence, even though their work shines. So tell a friend, tell a stranger, shout it from rooftops, and most of all, tell us what you think, and what you’d like to see, and we’ll do our best to accommodate as many requests as possible.

He has been published in The Southern Review, The Evansville Review, The New York Quarterly, The Willow Review, ONTHEBUS and The Pacific Review, among others. From 2001-2005 he edited and published AnyGivenDay Magazine, he also spent 2003-2006 editing The Acorn Review, Grossmont College’s Literary Magazine, and was on the 2007 RipRap editorial board. He is a former James Patrick Rodey Scholar, his poem “Shooting Stars” was chosen by Marilyn Chin as the 2007 Allegheny Review Poetry Prize Winner, and more recently his poem “Cabo San Lucas 2007, a Double Abecedarian” was a finalist for the North American Review’s James Hearst Poetry Prize and nominated for a Pushcart Prize. He likes his steak medium rare, and drinking a glass of water with his 151 and diet coke. That is all.
