Land Grant a good read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
At first glance, it might be mistaken for an old Farmer's Almanac-which is a good thing. One of the things that kills me about lit mags (and I read a lot of them) is the way they all wind up looking the same, with a few notable exceptions. This is one of the notable exceptions-not just the look of it, which is beautiful (hand done illustrations grounded firmly in American printmaking traditions)-but page through and you'll find surprising, challenging stories by names you know and names you don't. The first story, by Bob Olmstead, is fantastic-it sets the bar pretty high and the other stories, for the most part, clear it. I'm looking forward to the next issue.
A Very Well Done Anthology

Aimee Bender is one of my favorite writers and I loved her story. She has a wicked sense of humor, but it was touching and sad too. Also really good were the stories by Jonathan Tell and Robert Olmstead (very different from his stories in "River Dogs"). I enjoyed the book as a whole and thought the illustrations were cool and unique.
Great book, Talented authors

Josh Melrod is a gas and a grove. This cat has serious chops when it comes to writing a story. He just may be the next great american writer no one has ever heard of. Tara Weigh is to non-fiction what Celia Cruz was to Salsa. Give these artists a chance and they will amaze, I promise you that.
