New
publishing in Detroit?
Who
would dare start new publishing in Detroit?The people behind NEW POP LIT, for one.
They're
out with their first title, a collection of stories, essays, and
poems from the nation's best DIY writers.
The
title: NEW POP LIT Issue One.
The
kickass cover is by Detroit artist Alyssa Klash. Our task from the
beginning was to find writing to equal the cover. We believe we have.
The
writers include Detroit author Kathleen Crane; zine legends Jessie
Lynn McMains and Wred Fright; small press publisher and novelist
Delphine Pontvieux; underground filmmaker Pablo D'Stair; avant-garde
"Pop Picasso" artist and writer Dan Nielsen-- and other
unique talents.
Readers
will discover a variety of approaches to the literary art. Not fully
literary. Not quite pop. Approaches toward an elusive hybrid. A fresh
start for readers and writers.
More
exciting "Made in Detroit" titles will follow!
