Modern Life, another excellent poetry collection by Issue 1 contributor Matthea Harvey, has just been published by Graywolf Press. If you're looking for some thought provoking poetry about robots, humans, and the future of terror (or even if you aren't), pick it up.
“Matthea Harvey's vision of America is spooky, apocalyptic, and beautiful: proof that there is wonder in even a dark time like ours.” - George Saunders
Last month saw the launch of author, editor, American fiction translator, and Focus: Japan contributor Motoyuki Shibata’s Monkey Business, a colorful taste of the synchronous literary happenings on both sides of our world. The debut issue includes work from Hiromi Kawakami, Shelley Jackson, Yoko Ogawa, Herman Melville, Paul Auster, Howard Norman, and Barry Yourgrau. Kudos and cheers to Monkey Business!
