Wisteria, wisteria, asleep on the stalk, show me how to keep the mouth soft. New Issues titles can be ordered here. With generosity and dedication, Bill has guided the labor of love that is New Issues in the truest spirit of its founding—the pursuit of the best unpublished work.
He will be deeply missed at the Press. We are fortunate to have Nancy, an excellent and experienced Editor, leading our Press, contributing to an ever-growing legacy of literary achievement.
As the NIP first book editor for some years, I have long and deeply admired the vision this press has lived by, its commitment to quality, originality, and open-mindedness. I wholeheartedly honor founding editor Herb Scott for bringing the press to so vibrant a life, and editor Bill Olsen, whose commitment, guidance and wisdom in seeking out unique voices in poetry have made a lasting mark on New Issues and on the poetry community on a national level.
Langlois managed to create a convincing plot, developed the character well enough that he was both multifaceted and relatable, and wrapped up with the conclusion that while a monster may have been born, the character achieved the sense of escape and freedom he craved in the first paragraph.
The only issue is that he does so as an improv routine, the activity that Frank quit the bank for. In this case, he has no gun, just his hand, and sounds like a bank robber from classic black-and-white films.
Frank refuses to stand down, believing with all his heart that the dots will connect and guide him to his future, and as a result gets shot in the foot by one of the officers. He is granted his wish at the end when he blacks out and sees the dots meant to connect appear before his eyes. While the previous story shows the main character continuing on with their adventures, Frank has met the end of his, but still getting what he wanted: for life to make sense.
Overall, Juked is an amazing and captivating magazine to read. The contributors themselves are from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from authors with MFAs and pieces published in multiple publications to writers who are relatively unknown and have a slight background, yet major interest, in writing.
On the other hand, keep in mind that a majority of the pieces are flash fiction and poetry. If you are a writer aspiring to publish a part of a novel-in-progress, or a piece more than two pages long, this might not be the magazine for you. They provide an email address to send submissions to; more details about submission guidelines can be found on their info page. Since they publish new pieces every month on their website, this allows writers and poets to send in their work any day of the year.
