Lit Mag Covers :: Picks of the Week

I’m going for warm colors here, as once again it is snowing, blowing and below zero windchill outside. This front cover image of Off the Coast (Winter 2015) is “Indigo Meditation” by Iryna Lialko. The issue’s theme “Get You Some Wings” comes from a Clint Smith poem included within.

I love this hypnotic design on the cover of CutBank #82. The image comes from vintageprintable.com with a bit of artistic manipulation by Art Editor Meghan O’Brien.

Parcel Fall/Winter 2014 features artwork by Juliana Romana, both on the cover (which opens to a full front/back of this oil painting to include one more young girl sitting at the foot of the bed) and within with several full-color images. Also included in this issue is a cool print by Giant Pancake, a screen print studio. The design looks a bit like the iconic reindeer sweater needlework, only with a skull and crossbones, tie fighter, and a hot air balloon “stitched” in.
