Continued Production Delay

By -

Because of a few unexpected production delays, Gigantic Sequins 1.2 has not yet been able to go to print. However, be assured that the magazine is ready to go, we are just waiting on a few things.

This is preventing us from both distributing this issue to our subscribers and also from going ahead with the schedule we have made for issue 2.1. We apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused anyone, but look forward to going ahead with our plans as a magazine as soon as the production issues we are facing dissolve. We hope that this will be soon as in, within the next week or so. We appreciate everyone’s patience with this issue. Please direct all questions to giganticmagazine@gmail.com

As an editor, this is not something that makes me happy. The above two paragraphs were posted on our official page, but this being our blog, I would like to add my two cents' worth. Unfortunately, due to the fact that two of us have left New York City in the past year, the cohesiveness we had as a team has somewhat faded and made things difficult for us. Because of this, our schedule of production for the future needs to be amended. When we were all living closer together, we did not anticipate the differences in time management that living apart would cause. Though Gigantic Sequins will continue to exist in the future, a new plan will be announced as in a production schedule for our volume two issues.

Thank you again for your patience and continued support. Mostly, I look forward to seeing our 1.2 issue in print. I hope you do, too.

Saying Farewell to a Writer and Friend: David Markson

By -
June 5, 2010 :: elegy in essay form I found out this morning via Jim Behrle's facebook and then his twitter that David Markson has passed away. "David Markson has died." Behrle doesn't blither. Quick search on the web, and I've got nothing, but this makes sense to me. Markson, a giant of postmodernism-- if you're true to the word-- maintained closer friendships than he courted publicity. His life and work are intertwined, and his memory will live on in those he touched as well as in his works of art. Perhaps I find my method of discovery at his passing ironic considering Markson himself would have never found out about anything the way I did. He would tell me, visiting the poetry and literary non-fiction stacks of Strand Bookstore, how he still used a typewriter to write, wrote things down on notecards when planning his novels, only took calls on his landline and didn't feel he had any need for a cell phone or computer. It wasn't that he was against te

my weekly book purchases: 3/13/09 this week, i followed most of my rules. one full-priced (the Jack Gilbert), the rest dollar books. the bad thing about my book-buying, is that it comes at the end of my week (either Friday or Saturday), which means that i am usually over or too close to my $100 / week spending limit (yes, this is impossible, and i ALWAYS go over. always.) one of these weeks, i will buy books, and the purchases will not cause me to go over my limit. and i will be impressed and amazed with myself. i bought two poetry books, a book of essays and a novel, which is about right. i like poetry because you don't have to read poem books cover to cover, but can just browse, or read the first few, throw a bookmark in it, then the next few, etc. alright, here are my righteous finds this week... Gilbert, Jack. Refusing Heaven . New York: Knopf, 2005. [hardcover] I bought Jack Gilbert's The Great Fires over the summer after removing it off of the shelf, reading a few poems
