Periodically Speaking

The Council for Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP) and The New York Public Library present Periodically Speaking, a free reading series providing a major new venue for emerging writers to present their work while highlighting the riches of literary magazines in New York City and the magazine collections of The New York Public Library. Each event presents writers from three influential literary magazines, introduced by their publisher/editors. The themes for the fall series of readings will focus on the senses, starting off with poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction that address 'seeing' in different and innovative ways.

Literal Latté
Literal Latté is in its 10th year of publishing, and recently became an online magazine. It publishes stories, poetry, and essays, by both known and emerging writers from around the world.

Editor Janine Gordon Bockman will introduce Janice Gary reading her essay, Sight Unseen.

Summerset Review
The Summerset Review, a quarterly online literary journal of fiction and essays, is dedicated to publishing unsolicited work and featuring new voices.

Editor Joseph Levens will introduce Michael F. Smith reading his short story, Anywhere.

Hanging Loose
Since its inception in 1966, Hanging Loose has stressed work by new writers and by older writers whose work deserves a larger audience.

Editor Robert Hershon will introduce Joanna Fuhrman reading her poem, Swing-Set Moraine.

This series is made possible in part by support from The New York Community Trust, The Greenwall Foundation; the New York State Council for the Arts, a state agency; and Friends of CLMP, a diverse group of individuals committed to supporting independent literary publishing.
