New Lit on the Block :: Lung

Edited by screenwriter and poet Alveraz Ricardez, Lung is an “independent peddler of unique voices in contemporary poetry.” Lung is available free online using Issuu, and is currently accepting submissions for its second publication until October 5th.

The first issue of Lung features writers whose works met the submission criteria of ‘invoking emotion but avoiding the trappings of mediocrity’ of being ‘fresh, innovative voices that have something original to say,’ and moreover being ‘unique’ and ‘jumping off the page’: Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz, Cyril Wong, Olivia Tandon, Gabriel Ramos-Rocchio, Sandy Benitez, Nina Romano, Christopher Mulrooney, Aleathia Drehmer , Rei Thompson, J. Bradley, M.J. Hamada, Christopher Woods, Nina Ki, J. Michael Wahlgren, Janann Dawkins, Steve Meador, Derek Richards, David McIntire, and Alex Galper.
