Welcome to the first issue of Alternating Current Press' annual
"Poiesis Review" that contains fiction and creative nonfiction
right alongside the poetry you've always loved. We've expanded the
journal to contain prose, and now this beast of a journal sits
pretty at 200 pages of writing by some of the best writers in the
independent press today. There are lots of literary journals out
there, so why take a chance on this one? Because, after 20 years in
the small press, "Poiesis Review" is one of the only literary
journals in existence that features a blend of today's
up-and-coming promising rookies alongside the staples and legends
of the last few decades in the literary underground. You can buy in
confidence knowing that nowhere else will you find such a
smattering of the writers' spectrum or such a truly accurate
cross-section of all walks of the literary world-what five-time
Pushcart Prize nominee and Wisconsin Regional Writers Association
Award winner, Charles P. Ries, called "young blood running with old
blood." We are proud to be one of the holdout bastions representing
the full and true independent press.
The Featured Writers in this issue are Norman Mailer Award
finalist, Nathan Graziano; Iowa Writers' Workshop graduate,
two-time NEA Fellowship recipient, and Pushcart Prize nominee, Sean
Brendan-Brown; and multiple Pushcart Prize nominee and three-time
PEN grant recipient, Doug Draime. Their work is showcased beside 37
other artists and over 100 pieces of writing, including two of
Alternating Current's six 2013 Pushcart Prize nominations, the two
grand-prize winners and four honorable-mention winners of our 2013
Luminaire Award for Best Poetry and Best Prose, and stunning cover
and back cover art by the tremendously talented Terry Fan. This
journal is hands-down one of the finest collections to which we
have ever had the pleasure of affixing our name. If you've been
wanting to give Alternating Current a try but didn't know where to
start, then this is the place.
