Tuesday 24 May, 2011 tagged Online, Recordings On a whim, we asked people to read their favorite short poems into our answering machine for a project we called Verse By Voice. And they did, creating maybe the first-ever poetry meme. Make sure to listen to novelist Zadie Smith reading Frank O'Hara's Animals and Laura Demanski reading Gerard Manley Hopkins' Spring and Fall.

Saturday 14 May, 2011 tagged Online, Publications ER is a quarterly review dedicated chiefly to contemporary and visual art since 1940, but also containing treatments of matters literary, philosophical and political. It is Cork-focused, but strives to be international in scope, with reviews of events in Britain, Continental Europe, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa appearing in the first three issues.
Articles from the first two issues are now available via an online archive, including a piece by Trevor Joyce on the poetry of Tom Raworth, and derek beaulieu on conceptual writing. ER3, with Peter Manson on Mallarmé’s Herodiade, will be uploaded once the current issue goes out of print.
We are interested in hearing from prospective ER critics: so if you would like to contribute to the review now or in the future, please contact the editors, Fergal Gaynor and Ed Krčma, at enclavereview@gmail.com.

Thursday 28 April, 2011 tagged Calls for Work, Online 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.
A recording of a recent reading by Keston Sutherland is available to listen to online.
