If you’ve not heard, the fine gents at Barrelhouse are rolling out the presentation carpet, but don’t let us tell you about it. Hear it straight from the Barrelhouse mouth: “The series will showcase readers representing literary magazines and small presses we love, bringing new voices to the DC scene and introducing you to the best that indie lit has to offer.”
Don’t miss the upcoming Barrelhouse Presents night—Thursday, June 17th at 7 pm—with Baltimore’s Publishing Genius and Narrow House. Head on over to The Wonderland Ballroom!
Eckleburg was founded in 2010 as an online and print literary and arts journal. We take our title from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and include the full archives of our predecessor Moon Milk Review. Our aesthetic is eclectic, literary mainstream to experimental. We appreciate fusion forms including magical realist, surrealist, meta- realist and realist works with an offbeat spin. We value character-focused storytelling and language and welcome both edge and mainstream with punch aesthetics. We like humor that explores the gritty realities of world and human experiences. Our issues include original content from both emerging and established writers, poets, artists and comedians such as authors, Roxane Gay, Rick Moody, Cris Mazza, Steve Almond, Stephen Dixon, poets, Moira Egan and David Wagoner and actor/comedian, Zach Galifianakis.
