Videos, a reading, food & wine, and 2 great magazines
So, are you sick of me mentioning the Library's 2nd annual Literary Magazine Salon that's coming up this Thursday? Please indulge me, because I am really, really excited about it! And you should be too. It's a critic's pick this week in Time Out New York and featured in The Word in New York Magazine.
The arts & culture magazine BOMB is marking its 30th anniversary this year (The New York Times reported on their benefit gala last week in words and pictures) and they will be continuing the party this week at our salon. Paul Morris, BOMB's General Manager of Digital Media & Marketing will take us on an audiovisual tour of the magazine's illustrious history.
And then there's the upstart, 1-year old Electric Literature. Co-publisher and Editor-in-Chief Andy Hunter will be screening some short films inspired by work by Michael Cunningham and others and will be presenting author Nathan Englander, who will be reading from a new story to be published in the magazine's forthcoming issue #6.
We'll have food and wine and plenty of time to chat up our guests and pick up some current and back issues of the magazines. Hope to see you there!

Literary Journals are thriving, have you heard?
Literary magazines are thriving, according to The New York Times.
Are we supposed to be surprised? We aren't. Our members are passionate readers of literary magazines - and thanks to some generous donors, we recently added subscriptions to jubliat, BOMB, Ploughshares, the Southern Review, and Barrow Street to our collection.
The Library is also proud to sponsor an annual Literary Magazine Salon, this year featuring the 30 year old BOMB magazine and the 1 year old Electric Literature. Both magazines have been using new media to explore different forms and attract audiences. This year's event will be held on April 28 at 6:30pm in the Members' Room. There will be food and wine, readings, short films, and a good dose of great conversation. Join us! Event information is on our website and on Facebook.
There's also a great program TONIGHT at NYPL. And truth be told, Periodically Speaking is the inspiration for The New York Society Library's Lit Mag Salon. As a library student, I interned with Karen Gisonny, the Helen G. Bernstein Librarian for Periodicals and Journals at NYPL, who has been running this literary magazine series along with the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses for a number of years. The experience was eye opening - I discovered magazines I'd never seen before and received a real education in what a labor of love it is for the people who tirelessly work to put out these gems. I highly recommend you attend tonight's event - I think you'll be amazed.

dumped on Valentine's Day
I was dumped by a literary magazine (which shall remain nameless) on Valentine's Day.
I've been working on booking this year's Literary Magazine Salon and I had a really great program nailed down. But yesterday, I got the "Dear John" letter from one of the magazines that I was really excited about and that had previously agreed to participate.
I'm heartbroken.

Food. Poetry. Menupoems 2010.
After having the lamb burger at the Breslin or Lidia's spicy calamaretti at Del Posto, one might feel moved to express oneself in iambic pentameter. The folks at Alimentum, the literary magazine that's all about food, are here to help. Celebrate Poetry Month by downloading the Menupoems placemat printed with a dozen poems. Then read one of the poems on video at your favorite restaurant and upload it to Alimentum's YouTube channel.
...and the Menupoems editor is none other than our own Library member (and Fiction Group II leader) Esther Cohen.

Thanks, One Story!
The terrific One Story folks, who participated in the Library's first ever Literary Magazine Salon, just blogged about it. The event featured Terese Svoboda reading from her new story "Bomb Jockey" which appears in the current issue of the magazine.
