What REALLY happened to SUPERMACHINE? How did Ugly Duckling Presse get to be so good-lookin? What does H_NGM_N do with all the bodies? Where is the secret map to CUNY Lost and Found? Was that an aneurism or has someone just read an Epiphany?
Come to our panel at AWP to learn the answers to these questions and more. Editors from the previously mentioned journals team up for a roundtable about beginnings, middles, and ends; what makes us tick; and what we want to publish in 2012.
Now for the legit details as seen in AWP’s book of insane demands:
