New ACTION YES

is up now.

Special section on Canadian writers, edited by François Luong.
At a glance I'm very impressed with the work by glenN robsoN.

Ross Brighton said...: They're great, and publish great stuff through Action Books as well (like the two I reviewed).
I've also got three poems in the next (Dec/Jan) issue.
Other online mags I love are Otoliths, Jacket, EAOGH and 5_trope, and the Light and Dust anthology project is fantastic as well.; November 5, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Kate Durbin said...: I've just glanced through this issue so far, but the Canadian work looks really exciting. I am especially pleased that Francois seems to be publishing a lot of young writers who don't have books yet, and it looked like what some of them were doing was pretty wild.; November 6, 2009 at 7:45 AM
François Luong said...: Kate,

Thanks for the kind words, but of all the people in this Canadian feature, only cris costa does not have a book. Sarah Dowling did not have one either, but now does (Security Posture, Snare Books, a press from Montréal).

Kate Durbin said...: Francois--

I confess that though I glanced through most of the work, I only quickly scanned about four of the bios. I know I saw costa's and robsoN's (who, looking at it again, has a chap forthcoming--missed that before).

In any case, I stand corrected, though it doesn't change my thoughts on the issue itself of course. It looks great.
