Mark Young has decided to hang up the editor hat. He announced Otoliths #70 would be the final issue. I’ve had work in past issues of Otoliths, including chapters from Autobiography of a Book. There’s a romance to finality — and being one of the last. So I sent along a batch of poems. Maybe I’d get in the ultimate issue. Indeed. Mark took all five of the poems I sent:
“a nobody in whose happening this city”
“multiple fragile instruments”
#70 is a big issue. There are names I know — Eileen R. Tabios, Dale Jensen, Richard Kostelanetz, John M. Bennett, Sheila E. Murphy, Alan Catlin, Jim McCrary — and many more I don’t.
Mark also packages each issue into print on demand volumes, grouping text-based work and visual arts into separate volumes to keep any one collection from being prohibitively expensive (or gigantic).
