Many thanks to Wailing & Gnashing for publishing two of my poems: “Footnote to a Footnote” from my collection Footnote (Lithic Press, 2017) of response poems; and “Unlikely Companion” which won the Utah Arts Festival IronPen competition last year. There are so many incredible things about this new journal, specifically, they are incredible to work with, quick to respond, accept reprints, and are just the kindest folks. I encourage all my followers to consider sending them work!
Wailing & Gnashing is a new poetry journal for outsiders. They are always open, accept reprints, and while standard response time in the future will be around three months, you can expect much faster response times for their first upcoming issue. Read more about why they created the journal and what they are up in the interview below with founders and editors Chris Atkin and Andrew Earley here.
