Honolulu-bound: Periodicals for a 5-hour Flight
Posted in poetic on Apr 12th, 2007
A list of small, independent and/or less-nationally-known periodicals to which I subscribe:
- beeswax magazine (Berkeley/Oakland-based lit and art journal)
- ZYZZYVA (SF-based West Coast lit and art journal)
- Hyphen Magazine (SF-based Asian American nonprofit issues mag)
- Quick Fiction (almost pocket-sized flash fiction journal)
- Craft (next-generation craft and how-to mag)
- Audrey (Asian American women’s fashion and fluff mag)
The popular fellas:
- Blueprint (a Martha Stewart Living magazine)
- Food & Wine
Scanning this list makes me think I spend too much money on magazines, in addition to all the law-related periodicals that come my way (though the lit mags come out about 4 or fewer times a year). Two or several of these will accompany aboard the plane. I highly recommend 1 through 5.
aloha.
with all due respect to my esteemed colleagues, i would like to think that ZYZZYVA is not “less nationally known,” but rather more.
at least among those who know literary magazines, a number that is of course rather lesser than that of those who know fashion, foodie, how-to…and other kinds of magazines.
thank you for subscribing. and finally getting around to reading the spring issue. please don’t get it all sandy and salt-watery.
best regards,
howard junker
editor, ZYZZYVA
