A brief message on my lunch break:
Jun. 1st, 2010 02:09 pmWe are pleased to announce that the June 2010 issue of Ideomancer is now live!
This issue focuses on questions of histories, real and imagined: what happened, what we would have liked to have happened; how we imagined things to have been.
Lon Prater’s “The Atrocities of King George” tackles the question of revisionist history head-on — in a slightly revised history of its own. Ilan Lerman’s “Saint Stephen Street” remixes, rejigs, and recurves around a history that its protagonists would rather not remember. Finally, Megan Arkenberg’s “The Copperroof War” shows what happens with the histories nobody wants to tell, and what happens when history itself, dusty and stored away, becomes deadly indeed.
Our poets this month — Larry Hammer, Stephen M. Wilson, Jennifer Crow, Amal El-Mohtar, and Jessica P. Wick — take us from the lofty heights of Alexandria to the more mundane historical questions of he said, she said.
We hope that you enjoy it!
