Been a while, and none I pay for. Mostly I come across individual stories, but haven't read any magazines deeply. Some of the last few things I thought were worth bookmarking:
>Shades, Bud Smith (Joyland)
https://joylandpublishing.com/fiction/shades/
>House, Vincent James Perrone (Wigleaf)
https://wigleaf.com/202511house.htm
>A Conversation Behind the Dumpster Behind the Church, Spencer Eckart (Spectra)
https://spectrapoets.org/A-Conversation-Behind-the-Dumpster-Behind-the-Church-by-Spencer-Eckart
>Passing Over, Selen (Hobart)
https://www.hobartpulp.com/web_features/passing-over
>three poems, Nathaniel Duggan (the Michigan City Review of Books)
https://mcrb.neocities.org/ThreePoems_NathanielDuggan

And this one is a one-off collection I put together from an older /lit/ magazine, but it contained some writing I really liked, particularly
>Pinakes, anonymous (the best of &amp)
https://the-best-of-amp.github.io/writing/pinakes.html
(PDF etc. on the main page)


A friend recommended me a piece I really liked from DIAGRAM:
>Pornography, Richard Siken
https://thediagram.com/23_4/siken.html
so have you got any specific pieces to rec? or from any of the other magazines.

I used to read Jacobite when that was a thing. Of fringe political mags it was the most coherent.

Thanks for the recs, I'll give all these a look.
>4 Poems -- Brandon Downing
This is great. You might also get a kick out of pic related (I had a buddy read the one on the left at an open mic, and it was constructed (reverse?) chronologically besides him choosing the first stanza; the second I made from one of those "write a story one sentence at a time" threads).

on the first and lines 53-63 in the second. you got any small press/micropress recs? been reading some Two Dollar Radio stuff but don't really know what's going on other than the "big" small presses

I don't read anything written in the past 50 years

Glad you liked them. The second turned out much better than I would have expected, and I just remembered I have a recording of my buddy reading the first: https://vocaroo.com/1h3tf3E19LXN

I dunno any really small presses besides some local ones. Discordia Review is one from my city (Montreal), and they've put out some good zines, including a really nice book of poetry from Phil Hall ("The Hobo"), though he's pretty far from their usual authors. I've heard some good stuff read here, but I don't really know where it's ending up or if it's all just scattered across various magazines. There was a guy who read a really interesting, hypnotic poem of an exchange between a man and his grandmother with dementia, and I'm sort of waiting for him to put out a chapbook but when he told me about it it sounded like he'd do it himself.

Anyway, here's one of the Phil Hall poems from the Hobo:

>Starting the Car, by Phil Hall

My dad could have built this fence
or shown me how to
between binges on rye he built fences
& some Saturdays I went with him

he made $1.25 a rod
a rod is a section & a half
he dismantled the old fallen fences
& used those same cedar rails

at noon we heated little tins of beans
on the manifold of the car
-here's the keys go start it up-
-so the motor's hot for our lunch-

you are bored by now
& I am getting afraid for that kid
who had to make up so much
to keep things book-like

our repair-friend Len
build this little two-rod fence for us
in front of where the house water drains
so no one can drive in there

up back roads in Verulam Township
only I know which fences are Dad's fences
& I never go there anymore
that's what drink did to the old ways

Sounds like it would be time wasted that could be spent reading things that are actually worth reading.

lots of good recs in this thread thanks anons

Magazines are for women; men read books

>>25175603
Are there any that aren't entirely staffed by foids and homosexuals?
>>
>>25179196
Nope, the cultural invasion is complete unfortunately. They've fully barricaded the arts against aspiring white guys. The proof is in the product, unceasing political slop lightly touched with narrative.
>>
>>25179196
that would require people other than foids and fags to read, and like it or not, american literary culture is kept alive by foids and fags. everyone say thank you foids and fags. I'll start. Thank You Foids And Fags
>>
I've enjoyed a few stories from Volume 0, but it's mostly foidslop as you'd expect

I'm surprised that The Stinging Fly is so good, but I guess I shouldn't be. Nation of poets and writers, I guess. Irish journal. Has a good press attached to it to

>>25180310
I've seen the Stinging Fly recommended before (by the author of Brat when he was posting here), but I don't think I've read anything they've published. Anything good of theirs online you could link?

Yeah, this one. "Let's Go Kill Ourselves" by Colin Barrett.
>https://stingingfly.org/2014/07/24/lets-go-kill/
GREAT story. The magazine decided to publish his first book of stories (picrel) off its strength and it was fucking killer.
>>
>>25181182
Thanks, that was great. I remembered I've had a copy of Young Skins on my computer for a while, and probably heard of it on here. Were you recommending it before? And my own Irish rec would be Nobber by Oisin Fagan, which I really enjoyed last year. Brat by Gabriel Smith is good too.
