30 November 2016

Monday Must Read! Nate Pritts: Post Human
Nate Pritts, author of Post Human, from A-Minor Press is this week’s recommended read. He is the author of eight books of poetry, including Revenant Tracer, which won the 42 Miles Press Poetry Award and will be published in the fall of 2017. Nate is the Director and Founding Editor of H_NGM_N (2001), an independent publishing house that started as a mimeograph ‘zine and which has grown to encompass an annual online journal, an occasional digital chapbook series, a continuing series of single-author books and sporadic limited edition/low-fi projects.
His most recent collection is Post Human (2016) which Publishers Weekly says “leads readers through a poetic dystopia that reveals the fragility of the human relationship with technology. Weaving his poems together as a meditative critique of technology and its numbing effect on the everyday, Pritts asks readers to imagine other possibilities amid ‘this daily flood/ of ephemera, this electronic life.'”
Publishers Weekly described his fifth book, Sweet Nothing (2011), as “both baroque and irreverent, banal and romantic, his poems […] arrive at a place of vulnerability and sincerity.” POETRY Magazine called The Wonderfull Yeare (2009), “rich, vivid, intimate, & somewhat troubled” while The Rumpus called Big Bright Sun(2010) “a textual record of mistakes made and insights gleaned…[in] a voice that knows its part in self-destruction.”
Nate Pritts is Associate Professor at Ashford University where he serves as Curriculum Lead and Administrative head of the Film program.

Friday Call for Submissions Love! Lockjaw Wants That Black Friday Writing Goodness!
Lockjaw Magazine is currently accepting submissions for its fifth issue!
“We’re a biannual online journal publishing literary ephemera, visual art, music, and video. We like your strange, your uncertain, your prophetic and visionary. We have a preference for shorter work, though we read everything we get. Text-wise, we’re primarily interested in poetry and prose and odd experiments; we do not currently publish nonfiction or essay (sorry, nonfiction and essay). As for everything else, we haven’t seen it yet, so we couldn’t possibly say.
We’re excited to announce that this issue will include guest-editing from Zachary Doss (Black Warrior Review, Banango Street). Submissions are open through November 30. Please visit our website–http://www.lockjawmagazine.com–for detailed guidelines and to check out our previous issues to see if we’re on each others’ level. Or throw caution to the wind and send your stuff to
submissions(at)lockjawmagazine(dot)com.
But yeah, read the guidelines first. Not only is it the right thing to do, it’ll help you level up as a Good Literary Citizen.
(While we are eager to hear from everyone, we’re notably eager to hear from WOC, women, writers across the LGBTQ spectrum, and any and all other marginalized voices.)
Lockjaw Loves You, And Is Looking Forward To Hearing From You Soon,
Love,
Lockjaw”
