Issue 12 of Memorious: A Journal of New Verse and Fiction has just been released, and includes work by a number of friends and other great writers. Here's what the editors had to say about the issue:

We hope the wide range of work will get you started on your summer reading as our poets lead you on to the pier in Seaside Heights, turn on the radio to Johnny Cash, teach you how to make stars, take you deer hunting, and leave you watching a man drown off the coast of Nantasket. Along with this lively poetry section, which also includes such poets as Rebecca Black, Adam Day, Eva Hooker, and F. Daniel Rzicznek, you’ll discover new stories by Aaron Burch, Thomas Cooper, and Xu Xi. You can also find out why Brenda Hillman, whose latest poetry collection, Practical Water, is released this summer, tells us to “Leave the poem on a bus bench” in her interview with Phoebe Reeves.

I've read Aaron Burch's shorts, Thomas Cooper's story, and F. Daniel Rzicznek's poem so far, all of which are excellent.  The rest of the issue looks really exciting as well, and I'm about to dive back in and read some more. Memorious is one of those magazines that I wasn't aware of two years ago, but which I've since discovered is always good reading. I look forward to reading the rest of the issue, and hope you'll check it out as well.
