Technical Difficulties

We know you’re expecting a new issue, but we’re going to ask you to buck up and wait a few more days.

Real life, the end of the school year, and efforts by at least one of our editors to get named interim Senator from New Jersey have combined to set us back. So try to relax, reread last month’s awesome issue, and we should have the June Issue for you over the weekend.

It’s well worth the wait, with a fantastic novelette by Isaac Boone Davis and great short stories by Nate Depke, Ric Carter, Jon Wesick, and returning JDP favorite Robert Buswell. Not to mention our first ever poem (by Helena Ainsworth). The whole thing kicks off with the debut publication by new writer, Ricardo Angulo, who brings you an excellent tale of addiction and killer drones.

We can’t wait for you to read all of it.

(Well, okay, apparently we could wait — but only a few more days.)

Poetry! This Is Your Last Warning!

Wouldn't you rather just write a poem?

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood. Down one path lay your submission to JDP’s poetry issue. Down the other, a man-eating Rancor.

Look, we can’t tell you which road to take. Everyone must make that decision for themselves. But, goddamn, man-eating Rancor, right?

And, there are only three days left (give or take) to get your poetry submission in. After that the only option really is you as Rancor appetizer while another Gamorrean Guard marinates. And who wants that?

So to recap:

Step 1: Robert Frost, Bobby Drake, Jack Frost, Iceman

Step 2: Read the poetry issue guidelines.

Step 3: Read Joss Whedon’s Wesleyan commencement speech.

Step 4: Send us your poem before midnight on Saturday.

Step 5: Don’t die horribly while being gnashed between Rancor teeth.

UPDATED: Submissions are now closed.

Ten Days Left to Widen Our Gyre

Genre shows can't get enough of Yeats

You know what sucks about the blood-dimmed tide? Fucking impossible to get out of corduroy.

So quit slouching towards Bethlehem (it’s bad for your spine) and get writing. You’ve got just ten days to send in your submission for our special poetry issue. Submissions close at midnight on June 1st. After that, the center just can’t hold.

OK, we’re going to go check to see if mere anarchy has been loosed, because if it doesn’t get out at least once a day, it soils the carpet.

P.S. If you’ve already sent us a great poem, reward yourself by reading our amazing May Issue.
