CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!

The Montucky Review seeks quality submissions of short poetry, prose, and fiction.

Check out our guidelines and submit your best work!

Desolation Blues: A Beat Anthology (Subs open!)

If you would like to appear in The Weekenders' newest anthology, called Desolation Blues, please send your submissions to beatanthology@gmail.com. All submissions should mimic the Beats' style. Poems should be no longer than 70 lines (only submit one). Fiction should be no more than 1,500 words. The deadline is September 25, 2012.

Contributors will be paid based on the anthology's sales (a minimum of $5). Unfortunately, no free contributor copies will be dealt out...but the $5 should cover it (the anthology will be sold for $3.00). Any money gained from sales will be averaged out and dealt fairly to contributors once the selling of the anthology ends.

The anthology will be pre-sold first, and officially (we hope) will be out in October, which is when contributors will be paid any extra from the anthology sales.

Thanks!

Submissions Call!

The Weekenders Magazine is looking for some new poetry and fiction. Response time is 1-2 days. Please read the submission guidelines for more information.

Lush Now Also at Amazon

Lush from Rufous Press is now also available at Amazon. To purchase a copy from Amazon USA click right here and from Amazon UK here.

Lush is a lovely collection of poetry and prose. The best publication from Rufous Press, according to us editors. You can read more about this title right here.

Over Yonder Now Also in Sweden

Over Yonder is now available at Swedish Adlibris. You will find it right here.

It is also available at Swedish Bokus, CDOn, etc, but Adlibris has the lowest price. Not sure why the sum varies so much. We editors have no power over the price-fixing of Over Yonder in Sweden. 

If you are not a Swede you can get a copy at Amazon or Lulu for a song.

A Big, New Essay by Ryan Swofford

Ryan Swofford has written his debut essay in a big, new literary blog here. He'd like it if you stroked it and gave it love and life.

Swedish Sites

So far Jenny and I have been posting English and Swedish texts and updates on the same websites. Fusion is a really good thing. But mishmash is just, well, messy and so is mixing two languages on one site. 

The sites will be like two sides of a coin, in English and in Swedish.

We both will continue our English sites of course. 

Check out Jenny's Swedish homepage. 

And, after that, Ande's Swedish homepage.

If you do not know Swedish yet, well, never mind, it is quite easy to learn. 

Lush: Reduced Price

You can now purchase a copy of the lovely Lush at a reduced price. This priceless gem is now $8.70. We editors believe that this is the best Rufous Press publication. It deserves to be read and that is why the price is ridicously low. You can buy a copy right here. 

As this was the last book from Rufous Press it is especially rewarding that it is the best one. Editing takes way too much time. We have many other commitments. We want to dedicate our limited spare time to our own writing and other things.  

Thanks to all the wonderful contributors and readers of Rufous Press/Rufous Salon!

Over Yonder Now Also at B&N

Over Yonder from Rufous Press is now also available at Barnes & Noble.

You can buy a copy of this great book right here.

Lush Has Gone Live!

Lush is now available for purchase at Lulu.com. You will find it right here.

Rufous Press’ latest publication Lush contains poetry by John Swain, Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal, Jennifer Lemming, Kevin Ridgeway, Rachel Kellum, Akeith Walters, Tobi Cogswell, Elvis Alves, David Svenson, Ariane Lewis, Cameron Scott, prose poetry by bruno neiva and prose by Matt Galletta, Jenny Enochsson and Ande Enochsson.

“The poetry and prose in Lush span an arc of joy--rough and delicate, lasting and immediate.” -Kathleen Maher

“Lush is an exquisite collection, brimming with the palatial richness of summer’s luster. Like watching August light reveal the veins in shady leaves, the pieces in Lush remind us that this season of warmth is also meta-palace of memory where the scent of clover can unveil a forgotten moment or shadows on water can stir a desire long hidden within. Once again, Rufous Press has produced a thoughtful and exciting compilation of new voices.” -Megan Duffy, Editor of The Meadowland Review

“A diverse collection of contemporary poetry and prose from around the globe, Lush is a compact volume of emotive, fluid, and genuine modern day verse. This joyful selection of warm weather meanderings will speak to even the most casual consumer of poetic wordplay.” -A.g. Synclair, Editor & Publisher of The Montucky Review

Cheers,
Jenny & Ande (editors)
