TWO NEW PUBLICATIONS FROM MFA STUDENTS, AND ONE FROM THE PROGRAM

MFA students Giuseppe Infante, Gulay Isik, Kyle De Ocera, and Micah Sivaglio have teamed up to establish Overpass Books, a small press that publishes a quarterly journal of art and literature, By The Overpass. Their first issue just came out. Check out their web page here: http://overpassbooks.com/

Another publishing venture that has come out of Long Island University's MFA program is a hand-made poetry journal called Sun's Skeleton. Issue two just came out and is available via their website. MFA student Tony Iantosca started this one with friends from Vermont and New York.  

Sun's Skeleton will also host a release party on March 26th at Unnameable Books. Here's a blurb from their facebook event page:

"Issue Two is finally here and it is our honor to present it to you in person. Join us for a reading at the perfectly nameable Unnameable Books in Brooklyn and hear poets from the current issue reading their work. 

Readers will include, but may not be limited to: M.A. Vizsolyi, Daniel Owen, Stephanie Gray, Marc Paltrineri, and Tony Iantosca. 

Copies of the journal will, of course, be available for sale. But it's your presence that we're really after. 

Bring friends and facebook friends, strangers and babies, and feel free to pass this on to anyone and everyone you think might be interested. 

Yours Sincerely, 

Jony Pal Owemqusica"

And finally, the MFA program has just finished assembling its new journal, Brooklyn Paramount. This journal does not have a website just yet, but it sure is beautiful. Like Sun's Skeleton, it was hand-bound and assembled. Copies are available at various MFA events, and by contacting program director Lewis Warsh. Brooklyn Paramount exclusively features work by students, faculty, and alumni from the MFA program.
