The Claudius App

The Claudius App, an online journal of poetry, negative reviews, and criticism, is now accepting submissions for its first issue. As our statement of aims suggests, we're especially excited to receive submissions from current students and recent graduates. In addition to poems and negative reviews of contemporary books of poetry, we're also potentially interested in negative reviews of groups of books, groups of poems, magazines (including our own), canonical books, canonical magazines, etc.

Stylistically, we're looking for a little more 4chan, a little less Commentary, the All of Hyperion, fisting the hot air balloon whose suspension makes of us not the Hazlitts of our time, but of all time, like how Addison used to edit a magazine and now he owns a disease. Perpetual war for perpetual piecework! That aside, we aren't looking for any particular style or theme, just the best poetry and criticism being written today, and maybe tomorrow.

Submissions are taken via email, as are queries for longer reviews or essays, at submit@theclaudiusapp.com. Our submissions period for the first issue runs til May 15th. While we can pay you no more than attention, the first issue will feature an interview between Geoffrey G. O'Brien and Keston Sutherland, so we can at least promise you good company.
