Welcome to the cleverly named CoBalt, a new online quarterly literary review, headed by Andrew Keating. The first issue, published in September, includes notable work from Jen Michalski, “Sweet Rotten;” Emily Kiernan, “Tabula Rasa;” and poet Andrea Dickens, whose “At the Clay Studio” is worth clicking through to the PDF. Their next issue is due out December 10; they might still be accepting submissions.

May/September by Jen Michalski is in this book.
She’s been interviewed in Rain Taxi about her novella May/September, published in Press 53 Open Awards Anthology 2010, and she in turn has interviewed Justin Kramon about his novel Finny (Random House, 2010) in The Nervous Breakdown. I’m sure she’ll get back to you soon, though. She can probably even remember your name.
I firmly believe the importance of literature and books lies in the story, fiction, non-fiction, or non-categorical, not how the story is told: paper book, audiobook, film, musical, ebook, poem, graphic novel. This is why I think the debate about ebooks displacing paper books is irrelevant. They won’t, and even if they did, that would be okay. It’s the story that matters. So today I’ve created a new category for Baltimore-related news and literary items that epitomize that: it’s about the story not the format.
Jen Michalski introduces “Helloing” to the literary blogosphere on her blog today. It’s a new local journal that hopes to make connections between poetry, films, and music, three different ways of telling a story, creating an image, conveying an emotion. They’re accepting submissions for their December launch at wyld.helloing@gmail.com. I wish them great luck.
