ART:MAG

 

For more than two decades, Peter Magliocco a.k.a. The Mag Man has been hand-assembling and producing ART:MAG. Presented under a wild variety of budgets and circumstances, ART:MAG maintains a intense commitment to the literary underground, with a nature that is both playful and confrontational. These days, issues come saddle-stitched and 100 pages long, filled with black-and-white visual homages to the Vietnam experience, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Satan. Packed with poems, fiction, and micro-press reviews, the current issue, 28, comes with a chapbook insert by Alan Caitlin, a selection by Catfish McDaris, and an editorial discussing underground poets who fake their own death and might or might not be named Catfish McDaris. Issue 28 features a cover, scanned and inkjetted, by Peter Magliocco; Peter hand-crayoned each copy of issue 27. --JP
