FROM THE EDITOR'S PEN
by Kathryn Magendie
----------------------------------------
Dear Readers,
As I sit on my porch looking out at the ancient Smoky
Mountains rising bold and important, I think about a writer’s
solitary nature, how reclusive a Literary Planet can be. Yet,
within this vast space of solitude lies contradiction—for when
I write; do I not turn myself inside out? Do I not release the
demons? Do I not give you my guts on a platter? I slice open
my skin, show you my innards, allow you to see what is
hidden beneath my armor. My words reveal truths to you.
Isn’t this the role of a good publication, to reveal truths
through our writers’ words? And the role of the reader is to
pull the words into your eyes, let them dissolve into your
brain where the synapses giddily fire off in response to the
written world we give to you with such hope and expectation.
For my first column in my new position as R&T Newsletter
Senior Editor, I step into the very gifted, the very beautiful,
the oh so very much missed shoes of Meredith—perhaps
her leaving will be temporary and she will return to us, there
is always hope! Until then, here I am before you all, dear
Readers, turned inside out. I show you my heart beating
beating beating. I show you how strong and smooth my
bones are, how heavy and substantial my skeleton is. I show
you the blood that races fast and hot through tough and
capable veins. I am real. I say to you, “This is who I am.
Read me.” I divulge secrets through the characters of my
fiction, I transparently reveal myself in essay, and I pierce
my skin to let the poetry bleed away.
It is in this way we writers, editors, and readers of The Rose
& Thorn work synergistically to create a well-crafted literary
universe that is both well-written and well-read. The wish for
an audience meets the wish for a good story or poem or
essay. How wonderful it is that R&T provides both a place
for the voice of the writer and a place for the eyes of the
audience.
As a writer, I attempt to gather up my words raining down
like a great bursting geyser—sliding some into my pocket,
others regrettably in the trash, I kick secrets under the
rug, I swallow swallow to take the words in, but there are so
many! As an editor, I rearrange your words, pull, stretch,
poke at the meaning and say, “What about this? Try
it this way.” I press you; sometimes make you angry with me,
I force you to look at your work in a way I hope didn’t occur
to you before—but just as important, I admire you for
molding the language with care and then submitting to our e-
zine. As a reader, I huddle over your creations, smiling,
laughing, crying, and yes, sometimes envious with a
wonderful envy of wishes that I’d written those words myself.
Every word the volunteers of Rose & Thorn write, read, edit;
every sentence, every paragraph, every page of this e-zine;
all of our work is for you, dear Reader. We create for you.
We seek your approval. We long for your love. With joy we
imagine you absorbing the words and images, and with hope
we imagine the contents of this e-zine changed you in some
wonderful tangible way. The work of our writers has weight—
heavy, full, and sweet. And as you read, you will see how we
have turned ourselves inside out. How we have bled for you
on the page. How we, just as I do from my mountain, have
shown you who we are with twenty-six letters of the alphabet.
Kat

FROM THE PUBLISHER'S PEN
by Barbara Quinn
----------------------------------------
Dear Readers,
We're on our annual much-needed reading break in the
prose department until September. I hope you too take some
time to recharge your batteries. Breaks in routine can
jumpstart your writing and enable you to see your work with
fresh eyes. They're good for your brain.
Poetry remains open.
In case you missed it, there's a new motto at the top of the
newsletter; a quote from Anais Nin provided by
Assistant Editor Barbara Lawrance:
“There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud
was more painful than the risk it took to blossom”
After your break, get out there and blossom. Keep writing,
and submitting. That's the only way to stay on the writing
path.
We're fortunate to have the talented Kat Magendie as our
newsletter editor. She worked with Mer, our previous
wonderful editor, and she's made it an easy transition for the
newsletter team. I think you'll enjoy getting to know Kat
through her insightful columns.
Our summer issue will be out next month.
Barb

OF LITERARY NOTE
----------------------------------------
BEAUTY/TRUTH: A JOURNAL OF EKPHRASTIC POETRY
Beauty/Truth is not just a run of the mill magazine intended
to add yet another "traditional" poetry journal to the already
inflated poetic marketplace. Beauty/Truth literary journal is a
genre specific publication that only prints ekphrastic poetry
(poetry written in response to visual art). Ekphrastic poetry is
a grossly underappreciated mode of poetry that deserves its
place alongside more widely known poetic modes.
http://www.beautytruthpoetry.com/

CANTARAVILLE
Cantaraville, a twice-yearly, PDF-exclusive literary magazine
from the editors of LA-based publishers Cantarabooks, has
been catching the eye of New York editors and agents. In
fact one such agent, Katherine Fausset of Curtis Brown
contacted a recent contributor to Cantaraville for possible
representation. With the ease of distribution and no limits to
circulation, PDF journals are one wave of literature's future.
For Cantaraville's guidelines and information on how to
submit, go to

GASTRONOMICA
Since 2001 we've been renewing the connection between
sensual and intellectual nourishment by offering readers a
taste of passionate inquiry through scholarship, humor,
fiction, poetry, and exciting visual imagery. With its diverse
voices and eclectic mix of articles, Gastronomica uses food
as an important source of knowledge about different cultures
and societies, provoking discussion and encouraging
thoughtful reflection on the history, literature, representation,
and cultural impact of food.

COYOTE WILD - AN ONLINE QUARTERY OF
SPECULATIVE FICTION AND POETRY
In Native American folklore, Coyote is a wise trickster. He
does the unexpected while imparting new wisdom and
insight to those with whom he comes in contact. In nature,
coyotes are solitary predators and scavengers. Their
nighttime calls speak to the soul. They are adaptable and
thrive in nearly every environment. They're not shy about
exploiting the occasional lucky break, either. Coyote Wild
thrives to embody all of these traits through the writing it
publishes. Coyote Wild is a speculative fiction magazine.
*We publish Coyote Wild four times a year--in January, April,
July, and October. To be considered for an issue, please
submit according to the following schedule:
*January Issue - Submit work between June 1st and June
30th.
*April Issue - Submit work between September 1st and
September 30th.
*July Issue - Submit work between December 1st and
December 31st.
*October Issue - Submit work between March 1st and March
31st.
*Coyote Wild offers $.01/word for fiction and non-fiction and
a flat rate of $10 for poetry.
http://coyotewildmag.com/
----------------------------------------
PRACTICE: NEW WRITING + ART
Publishes poetry, fiction, nonfiction, art, and photography, as
well as work that defies these genres.
We pay a flat fee of $200 per contributor, five copies of the
issue in which your work appears, and fine loose-leaf tea.
http://www.practicejournal.com/
----------------------------------------
THE SUN
We publish essays, interviews, fiction, and poetry. We tend
to favor personal writing, but we're also looking for
thoughtful, well-written essays on political, cultural, and
philosophical themes. Please, no journalistic features,
academic works, or opinion pieces. Other than that, we're
open to just about anything. Surprise us; we often don't know
what we'll like until we read it.
We pay from $500 to $1,500 for essays and interviews, $500
to $1,000 for fiction, and $75 to $250 for poetry, the amount
being determined by length and quality. We may pay less for
very short works. We also give contributors a complimentary
one-year subscription to The Sun.

DEAR ZOE BY PHILIP BEARD
Plume Books, 2005
Reviewed by NANNETTE CROCE
Dear Zoe by Philip Beard is the story of a family grieving a
loved one killed on September 11, 2001––not in the Twin
Towers or the Pentagon or on Flight 93 that went down in
central Pennsylvania not far from their Pittsburgh home. This
is a four-year-old child, hit by a car on that memorable

FLIGHT, A NOVEL BY SHERMAN ALEXIE
Black Cat, 2007
Reviewed by LAUREL FULLER
Everyone has had moments that they wish they could turn
back and do over, mistakes they’ve made, or just things they
would do a little differently if given the chance. The hero in
Sherman Alexie’s latest, Flight, makes one of the most
grievous mistakes a person can make in his or her lifetime:
he shoots and kills a bank full of innocent people without
motive or reason. The rest of the novel takes him on a
journey through the lives others, forced to face the same
dilemma over and over: to kill, or not to kill?
I had an opportunity to meet Mr. Alexie prior to his keynote
speech at the Roper Theater in Norfolk, VA…

AN INVITE BACK TO THE FORUM!
Dear Readers,
After the shedding of much cyberfluid in the Rose & Thorn
Community Forum, victory has been claimed over the
pseudo-evil misguided spammers. At this time we would like
to invite our membership back to the Forum to explore what
this little community has to offer as a place to post stories,
essays, poetry, and other insights. Furthermore, in addition
to receiving constructive criticism on your own postings, the
Forum is a perfect place in which to hone your own writing
talents by commenting (always in a respectful manner) on
the postings of others. I have found it has always worked
thusly for me.
So, click on the Community Forum link at bottom of our Rose
& Thorn Homepage. Then, choose your poison and either
join in or read what others have to offer. BTW, in order to
post, you will have to register.

A SPECIAL NOTE FROM OUR CO-MANAGING EDITOR
by Nannette Croce
----------------------------------------
Dear Readers,
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail that made my day. I
had returned a submission with an offer to reconsider if the
writer made certain suggested changes. This writer was
amazed that we actually took the time to tell him what
worked and what didn’t in his piece, rather than simply
rejecting it because of some imperfections.
Unfortunately, we are no longer able to comment on every
submission the way we did when online publications were
relatively new and the submissions were fewer. However,
when we see a piece that works except for one aspect, like a
long beginning or a weak ending, we often give the writer a
chance to correct it. We also remain one of the rare
publications still accepting pieces that require a little editing
rather than rejecting them outright. In fact, some of our best
pieces have been by new writers who have a great story and
an innovative style but haven’t quite honed their craft. We
are fortunate to have expert editors on staff to help writers
polish pieces till they shine without losing their unique voice
and style. Writers benefit by improving their craft and R&T
benefits from great work that keeps readers coming back.
Have a great summer, and as that old song says, “See you
in September.”
Nannette Croce

addition, each week one of our staff members will be posting
about the writing life. Everyone from our poetry editors to our
book review staff will be giving you a behind-the-scenes look
at The Rose & Thorn as well as the publishing world and

AN AMERICAN SIN -- FREDERICK SU
Old-time Rose & Thorn readers who enjoyed Frederick Su's
short story, "Winter Ash," should consider his award-winning
novel, AN AMERICAN SIN, about an Asian American and
Vietnam. The novel depicts an Asian American man's
journey through America--across time and place, exploring
issues of racism, war, and identity. It is also a PTSD tale of
sin and redemption where, like yin and yang, the Psychology
of guilt is intertwined with the psychology of desire. Touted
as "amazing," "fantastic," "an eye opener," "stark and
compelling," the novel "will raise the consciousness of
everyone who reads it."
More info at http://www.bytewrite.com.
It can be ordered at your local bookstore.
