What a great delight to find a blogzine which is very fine in every aspect: editorial mission and vision, literary quality, artistic quality, technological currency, ease of use, and longevity.
I’m talking about qarrtsiluni, an online literary and artistic collaboration which has been in existence for two years. I highly recommend that you take a long look at it. Read the poetry and other writings. Gaze at the artwork. Read the site’s “About” page. Read its “How to Contribute” page. Read the resumes of the editors. Qarrtsiluni represents the very best of today’s blogzines: the promise of our literary future.
I have created a link to the “Ekphrasis” issue (March/April 2007) of qarrtsiluni in my sidebar category “Ekphrasis books and journals.” Don’t miss it.

A painter friend of mine, Ian Jones (www.ianjonesart.com) and I had a painting and poem in that issue of qarrtsiluni.

Thank you so much for these very kind words! As one of the managing editors of qarrtsiluni, I appreciate it very much. And as a former upstate New Yorker myself it’s great to see what you’re doing here too!
