Hecale rouses from winter hibernation this month to find change is in the air. Most obviously the spangly new banners and logos decorating the site in 2008, courtesy of the good folk over at 2Faced Design. We're very pleased with them! The astute will also notice alteration to and multiplication of emails, editor@hecale.com, poetry@hecale.com and so on. The old email address whilst still operational will be phased out, so do update your books.

Autumn Collection

2007-11-06T19:34:00.000+00:00

Autumn brings a fresh look to Hecale's Words Directory and a considerable number of additions to the fold. Also quite a few new 'zine listings to explore and one or two visual treats in the gallery.

Words Directory

'the former Miss Holly Straightedge', 'Stillwell Ave.' & 'quicksand jesus' - three poems from Jim Warner, Wilkes-Barre resident and host of Manuscript Radio.

Delaware-based poet and painter Henry Long offers three poems from his latest chapbook 'Goat Love'. Visit his profile to read 'Love balances Chaos', 'Perfume of Resistance' and 'Pudendum Continuum'.

Born Spanish in one of those little hippie regimes in Southern California, Meredith Ebel packed up and moved to the most non-diverse place she could think of: Pennsylvania. Read her poem 'On First Love'.

Hailing from New York City, Hollace M. Metzger is a poet, architect, painter, and photographer educated in the United States, London and Venice. From her recent release, 'Observing the Labyrinth from Heaven', Hecale is pleased to present 'comatose' & 'my world exists'.

Joseph Verroneau runs Scintillating Publications, a chapbook publishing press and has graciously provided us with three of his own poems, 'Dirt', 'Forsaken' and 'The Science at Hand'.

Mike Marcellino began writing just before and during the Vietnam War, where he was an Army war correspondent and you can find two of his recent poems in the directory - 'Casey was at bat when the mercenaries descended' & 'Taipei Subway'.

'Stuffed Token', 'Black and White Static' and 'The Crank Painter' - three works by our poet on the Oregon coast, Ray Succre.

Sailor, fossicker, cancer survivor... she writes poems too. Diane Andrews offers Hecale's hungry audience, 'ROAD TO NOWHERE' and 'FIVE-ACT PLAY'.

Pushcart Prize contender, the poet Spiel, is a tight-wired maverick painting naked word portraits of humankind. And we have a trio for your delectation, 'making pictures without mouths', 'they hold you down ' and 'righteous rock'.

Sarah Layden teaches writing, writes novels, poems and non-fiction articles, and aspires to grow more than two tomatoes per summer in a measly backyard garden. You can read her short fiction 'Job Query' in the directory.

'Chocolate-Colored Eyes' - flash fiction by T. J. Forrester, a long distance hiker who has backpacked the trails that compose the Hiking Triple Crown.

Cicily Janus is a writer living in Colorado Springs with her family, rats and cats. From her oeuvre, we have the short fiction 'One' and an extract from her novel 'The Reluctance of the Ruling'.

Hailing from New York and referred to as the 'Rimbaud of SoHo' by peers, Julian Stockdale swings aboard Hecale with 'Advent for Petrus'.

'A Late Bloom' - flash fiction from another New York son, though now resident of Maine, William de Rham.

Magazines & E-zines

SmokeLong Quarterly is dedicated to bringing the best flash fiction to the web on a quarterly basis, whether written by widely published authors, or those new to the craft. The term "smoke-long" comes from the Chinese, who noted that reading a piece of flash takes about the same length of time as smoking a cigarette. All the work we publish is precisely that—about a smoke long.

Chick Flicks, an ezine that fills a void in publishing. We're looking for well-written stories and essays that are moody, dark, real, gritty. Stories about internal conflict juxtaposed against external demands, about real life people coming to terms--good or bad--with themselves and their choices.

We accept all formats, but will only publish the best of what we receive. No greeting card styled verse, religious outpourings or infantile rants. Read our journal to see the styles of poems in which we are interested.

Flask and Pen accepts submissions for essays, stories, poetry, social comments. We are not looking to become a political forum, but if that’s what moves you, we would consider some political commentary.

63 Channels - We've made it our goal to showcase the newest art and writing, the hottest talent and the overlooked underground artists. As such, we prefer only original work is submitted to the site. So if it's all over the web already, hold onto it and send us something new. We probably wouldn't find out, but you're not doing yourself or our readers any favors. thanks....

The Centrifugal Eye - I look for strong imagery, metaphor and poems with a bias for introspection. This doesn't mean that all poems submitted should be written in 1st-person point-of-view, just that they be thoughtful and content rich. I want to see fresh subjects, layered meanings, sophisticated themes, juicy language. Any POV welcome. Rhyming & formal poems must be polished and natural -- free verse has a better chance for acceptance, unless your traditional lyric forms show great maturity of craft.

Locust Magazine is an electronic bazaar for all those who are instinctively adverse to:

Personal phlegm & heartburn
Appalling regionalism (both green and grey)
Political porridge
Social tweet! tweet!
Stammering experimentalism...BEAM! BIN!!
Street Poetry or Beggar's Poetry (i.e.: just putting an F-word here & there will help destroy vs change...or perhaps be more natural...)

Scarecrow continues to bang the drum for the unheard, the unconventional, the eccentric, the revolutionary and the radical and long may it continue. Scarecrow has also evolved into a showcase for published and unpublished writers of short fiction and poetry and receives submissions from all corners of the globe each week - some make its pages most don't. Scarecrow's Editor is particularly proud of its diverse and growing mix of style and attitude.

Quick Fiction is a literary journal featuring stories and narrative prose poems under 500 words. It was founded in 2001 by Adam Pieroni, Publisher, and Jennifer Pieroni, Editor in Chief. The journal is published twice per year, with issues appearing each spring and fall.

Mississippi Crow - We especially want material on writing and the writing life, but also like food & garden articles, outdoors, travel, leisure activities. SHORT STORIES can be on virtually any subject. We like unusual stories (even odd or quirky) with a twist at the end and we LOVE flash fiction. Surprise us! POETRY: We prefer free verse that is unique and fresh, alliteration is good, powerful and edgy is good - but if it's full of cliches, preachy and predictable we will be less interested.

The Savage Kick is a literary magazine, but it isn't Reader's Digest or any of the "we accept anything" online drivel you see knocking around. We only accept a few stories per issue, and the results are something distinctive... We wouldn't do it otherwise. We don't want half-assed stuff, we don't want musings or ruminations or anything that doesn't make the reader sit up and take notice. Misery, joy, psychosis, hope, isolation, disgust... If it's a brutally honest feeling or story that you feel you have to share, then it will normally translate into something we'll like.

Inkwell is dedicated to providing a forum for emerging writers and to publishing high quality poems and short stories in a literary journal that also features non-fiction, artwork, essays and interviews on writing by established figures, and yearly competitions in poetry and fiction.

Alors, et Toi? - We are an artistic journal. Our aim is to be a showcase for creative talent. We are particularly (though not exclusively) interested in the yet to be discovered-writer, artist, and music makers, who excel in what they do. We are not looking for the cookie-cut representations flooding the tabloids today. We'll consistently scout for new talent to feature in our magazine. Therefore, please do not send us unsolicited submissions. If you send us an email consisting of a link to your work, we'll gladly visit your site, blog or writers page to assess what you are about. If impressed, you’ll be contacted by a member of our staff personally, and asked for a contribution or interview.

Tuesday; An Art Project - I wanted to make a thing we could hold. I think that pages — poems — books — they are resting places for what we have to say. For what we see. It was a reaction to all of the (necessary and often fabulous) on-line work that is out there. Work should be enjoyed tactilely. Poems should be kept, when loved. Passed on. Sent out.

My name is David Six. I am a prose writer and poet. I was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire and am currently living in London. I have spent much time living in various locations in France. I wear an unusual blue jacket and enjoy eating decorated cakes which I prefer to buy from fashionable high-street establishments.
