Periodically Speaking: Literary-Magazine Editors Introduce Emerging Writers at The New York Public Library

New York, NY—The Council of Literary Magazines and Presses [clmp] and The New York Public Library present Periodically Speaking, a reading series providing a major venue for emerging writers to present their work while emphasizing the diversity of America's literary magazines and the magazine collections of The New York Public Library. Each event presents writers from three influential literary magazines—one poet, one fiction writer, one nonfiction writer—introduced by their editors.

Slice Magazine
Slice Magazine is the brainchild of two book editors with a firsthand view of how difficult it is for new authors to be heard. Slice aims to spark a dialogue between emerging and established writers. In each issue, a specific cultural theme becomes the catalyst for short stories, articles, interviews, and poems from renowed writers and lesser-known voices alike.

Editors Maria Gagliano and Celia Johnson introduce fiction writer William Giraldi.

Inkwell Magazine
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 nonfiction, artwork, essays and interviews on writing by established figures, and yearly competitions in poetry and fiction.

Editor Autumn Kindelspire introduces poet Eugenie Juliet Theall.

Review: Literature and Arts of the Americas
Founded in 1968, Review is the major U.S. forum for contemporary Latin American writing in English translation and for coverage on the Latin American arts. Review first brought the work of writers such as Alejo Carpentier, Gabriel García Márquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa to U.S. critical attention. The magazine regularly presents book reviews of newly-translated work by/about both young and established writers and scholars throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, and Canada.

Editor Daniel Shapiro introduces nonfiction writer Araceli Tinajero.
