I have decided to come out with Stone's Throw, a regular zine comprised of contributors from the crowds of Stone Soup Poetry and Oddball Magazine. After nearly a year of immersion in web publishing with Oddball, doing this back-to-basics, three-stapled, one-sided-copies approach seemed like the perfect thing to do. For each issue of Stone's Throw, poets will be chosen and invited to contribute poems that either relate (however closely or loosely) to each issue's selected theme. This first issue's theme is "Desperation." If you come to Stone Soup tonight, you can pick up a copy of issue #1 and not only read print-exclusive work from Jason Wright, Andrew Borne, and Toni Bee but also the first ever published poems by newcomers Scarlett Pedersen and Dexter Roberts. There's also work from poets who don't get published enough like Laurel Lambert and Martha Boss. All that, plus a nice cover by my friend and longtime collaborator James Conant. If you can't come to Stone Soup tonight, ask for it the next time you're down there, or ask for a copy from one of the contributors I mentioned.
