In honor of April's National H_NGM_N Month, we're kicking off our newest initiative: H_NGM_N // Open Source. Open Source is an online anthology of poems. Members are free to post up to 3 poems - no submission process, no rejections. It's completely open source. I'm trusting you to put up dazzling, essential work that matters for the H_NGM_N // W_RLD community to read. Though the anthology is viewable by anyone, only members of H_NGM_N // W_RLD can contribute. Click the new forum featured below… Continue

What has always drawn me to Marc's work is the fact that it seems to play by rules - little swirling atoms jut off & the oddly symmetrical feeling makes it almost scientific. But there is an immense playfulness here as well.

Rainy & cold here in the Deep South. Still, inclement weather can't stop the rush of announcements from H_NGM_N C_NTRAL. We've just added Clay Matthews to our editorial structure & now I can say that Robert Krut has also been added to the roster as an Associate Editor.

I'm thrilled to have this team in place. Bob's work has a strong narrative & discursive style, something he's able to amp into the realm of the sensationally inclusive. Together, we're going to chart some gre

For some time, I've felt like H_NGM_N needed a real editorial structure. I've always been torn because...well, frankly, I like the fact that it is my magazine & that no one else was picking poems. I knew if I was going to bring someone on board as an Associate Editor, they would need to be someone I liked personally & trusted aesthetically, someone who knew the literary scene, the ins & outs of editing, & who was also familiar with H_NGM_N.

So: welcome new Associate Edi

H_NGM_N HQ took delivery of an email over the weekend notifying that Chris Rizzo's poem "ZONE" has been selected by the editors of the forthcoming BEST OF THE WEB print anthology from Dzanc Books. Also, a nifty blog info service, This Recording, just released a kind of small press awards announcement, naming Julia Cohen's recent H_NGM_N B_ _KS chap, Who Could Forget the Sensational First Evening of the Night, as winner in the category of "Best Chapbook Design." Congrats all around. Find "Zo… Continue

Well, I’m glad you’re here. H_NGM_N // W_RLD is one of the many next steps, or one of the myriad simultaneous leaps, in the iteration of brand H_NGM_N.

We’ve come a long way from the side-stapled mag that I produced on a pira
