New quarterly poetry magazine: MILK #1 - Call for submissions

[Black Swan]

Sounds good! But first, so that we can verify that you're legitimate, we'll need you to post a photo of yourself sucking on a goats tit while holding a baby bottle in one hand and a sign in the other that says "ME LOVE ME SOME MILK, BWANA DEVIL!"

As soon as you do that we can proceed.

Is this close enough for 10 more, let's say?

 

[DirtyJersey13]

Just reserved my copy, sad to admit that I spent more than this issue costs on a damn burger from McDonalds today, fuck!

 

[marina del rey]

To Marina, Is there a plan to sell subscriptions?

Yeah, we'll probably end up doing subscriptions eventually. Like chronic said, I'd rather wait until we have a few issues under our belt and then see how it goes. If the first two issues sell out, we may do subscriptions for the 4 issues in 2011.

By the way, there are about 50 or so copies left. If you're thinking about pulling the trigger, you may want to do it soon.

[...] you may want to do it soon.

you got my order from June 15, right? Just to make sure ...

 

[Rekrab]

[...] The extra $500 is for your trouble. It comes from the estate of my Great Uncle, who was the Nigerian Minister of Coal and Corrugated Cardboard. [...]

You can keep the coal part, but I wouldn't mind being minister of corrugated cardboard. Think of it. Mountains of cardboard, all brown and corrugated. You'd rule in the recyling world. That sounds like a plush assignment.

 

[LickTheStar]

Hm, sounds like I should jump on my copies of this soon...

 

[Black Swan]

I have hogged 7 copies,
if they'll let me.
Perfect gift, for the ones you love.

Yes, I did - quite an order! Thank you very much, roni.

It's not 'hogging' - it's simply exercising good judgement. :)
Thanks a lot, Swan!

 

[hoochmonkey9]

is that new or did I just miss it before?

I like it.

 

[chronic]

Not new, but freshly added to the site. I did a small update yesterday and wanted to fill in some empty space. I have the books sitting here and am going to meet up with Josh to deliver them today. Contributors and anyone who pre-ordered should have them in their filthy little hands very soon.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I just came here to ask?? but chronic answered my question. Thnx

 

[marina del rey]

MILK 1 is out the door!

All domestic orders shipped this morning. International orders will ship tomorrow morning (due to the customs paperwork).

 

[DirtyJersey13]

Very nice, and just in time as I've had to deal with some shitty literature this summer, this will be a nice break from the garbage.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Looks good enough to drink. I'm really looking forward to reading this - a fine list of contributors.

 

[bospress.net]

looks great. i can't wait to read this!

Something about that cover art is reasuring, comforting, like a glass of milk at bedtime.

 

[LickTheStar]

Allright! I ordered the damn thing, now stop taunting me!!!

Seriously, though, I can't wait for this. Congrats on getting it all together.

 

[jordan]

got mine in the mail today! thanks guys - this looks great. i'm honored to be a part of the milkbreaking issue.

 

[mjp]

Wait, Jordan is in it? Is it too late to cancel my order?

 

[Stavrogin]

got mine in the mail today!

Thanks for rubbing it in you got yours first. I'm taking a black marker to your parts.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

It didn't take long for this publication to induce interracial homo-eroticism.

 

[Stavrogin]

What can I say? He's a very selfish man. Tonight it's a box of tissues and Mitzi Gaynor's Sings the Lyrics of Ira Gershwin.

josh & chris:

this is a beautiful, clean, modern, elegant chap. fantastic job all round. looooove the fonts. already looking forward to the next one!

 

[number6horse]

Got mine today. Thanks for mailing these with the cardboard backs separating each copy. They arrived in perfect shape - even with the Chicago Post Office handling them. Woo-hoo !

Great-looking design - clean and classic.

And though I'm only 1/3 way through, I like "The Wharf" by Jordan as my favorite so far. That will change again and again as I continue reading but, thanks for the nice variety of material.

Bring Back The WPA !

 

[Gerard K H Love]

The City of Oakland Department of Tourism will be looking for Jordan soon.

 

[Stavrogin]

Just received mine, read it, and every page is FULL. If you're reading this, and have yet to order a copy, please remove your head from your ass and get a copy ordered. Thanks to all who contributed to this splendid debut.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

I concur wholeheartedly. mdr and chronic have created something that has the potential to create a lasting documentation of 21st century poetry. From what mdr posted nearly a month ago (~50 copies left at the end of June), a high percentage of the 200 copies must have sold, which bodes well for continuing to get submissions from quality writers. And thank whatever god you might believe in that it's on paper and you can read it like a civilized human being and not a robot.

 

[DirtyJersey13]

Thanks for putting the cardboard in with it, because when I first saw it crammed into my PO BOX I was mega worried. But it survived... it's a damn crap shoot with the post office. Now let the games begin.

 

[mjp]

No Milk yet. Of course they can travel thousands of miles before they make it ten miles to the other side of town.

 

[chronic]

Well, that sucks. But hey, there's always tomorrow

and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day.
