Students launch new online poetry magazine

Linebreak is a new online poetry magazine edited and published by MFA students Ash Bowen, Johnathon Williams, and Ashley McHugh. Since its launch on Jan. 22, the site has published poems from Bob Hicok, Bruce Bond, and, most recently, Barry Ballard. The format is a little different from most online journals -- each week, the site features a single poem from a single poet. Poems are published in both text and audio formats, and the site is updated each Tuesday.


Current faculty and students at Arkansas are ineligible for publication in the magazine, but the editors are seeking local poets to help record audio versions of selected poems.


Give it a look when you get a chance, and feel free to email the editors with feedback.
