uwlittlemags:

In advance of writer Renee Gladman’s reading here in Madison on Friday, March 20, with Felix: A Series of New Writing, we had a fun discovery that our Little Magazine Collection holds all four issues of a magazine Gladman published from 1996-1999 called Clamour: a dyke zine.

Clamour has been described as “a journal dedicated to experimental writing by women of color.” It is held in only three additional libraries: New York Public Library, San Francisco Public Library, and UC Berkeley Libraries.

Gladman’s recent work is a trilogy set in the fictional country of Ravicka and published by Dorothy Project. She is a Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard for the 2014-15 year, working on 

a series of poetic prose texts written as a correlative to an extensive drawing project (in process) titled “Prose Architectures”—in which she investigates the visual threshold between written language and drawn structures.

We are really excited to have Gladman here in Madison, and to share with our (now international) blog readership a bit of her history publishing the little magazine Clamour.

Read more about Gladman in this interview by Joshua Marie Wilkinson for The Volta and this interview by Amina Cain for the BOMBBlog. And here, a review of her trilogy set in the country of Ravicka, at by Tobias Carroll at Vol. 1 Brooklyn.
