From the latest
eBlast from Barb Shoup at the Indiana Writers Center:
"Flying
Island," the Writers Center's literary magazine was founded in the 1980's
by director Jim Powell, and provided a publishing opportunity for Indiana
writers well into the 1990's. It was always fun to see who in our writing
community would be represented in the magazine. If I'm remembering correctly,
there were some pretty groovy launch parties at the Alley Cat in Broad Ripple,
which was the scene for many readings in those days.
It morphed into
"Maize" for a while. Then David Hassler revived it a while back and
did several broadsheet editions. It was great to see the magazine back in print
and to read the works of IWC members and friends, but...print is expensive. We
just couldn't keep it going.
Enter online
magazines, factor in David Hassler's determination to make "Flying
Island" work one way or another, thank those who contributed to our
power2give project, "Where's the Next Kurt Vonnegut" and, shazaam,
it's back.
We're excited to
announce the launch of the online version of "Flying Island," which
is now accepting submissions on a rolling basis from residents of Indiana and
those with significant ties to Indiana. Editors David Hassler (fiction),
Julianna Thibodeaux (nonfiction) and JL Kato (poetry) are waiting to hear from
you!

By the way, "Flying Islands of the Night" is the title of an obscure poem/play by the Hoosier Poet, James Whitcomb Riley, of course.
