Center for Lesbian

http://www.clgs.org

CLGS offers the resources, tools, programs and events for sorting through these complex issues with clarity. To that end, and as the debate on same-sex marriage continues to expand and percolate throughout our society, CLGS is pleased to announce the formation of a Marriage/Civil Unions Resource center on this website. These resources,suitable for both academic and faith communities, for lay people and interested representatives of the media,will range from the academic (historical, theological, and ethical) to the practical (liturgies of civil union, sermons and denominational statements). The topic of same-sex marriage will likely remain controversial for quite some time, not in the least for many lesbian and gay people themselves. As we produce and collect resources on this topic, CLGS will respect the wide range of opinions at work in this debate and the diversity of opinion about it within communities of faith and LGBT communities alike. We will, however, continue to insist on working for the full inclusion of lesbian and gay couples in the civil benefits and responsibilities of marriage as a matter of social justice. Look for the launch of this Resources Project soon, or sign-up to receive our e-mail updates and you'll be sure to know when these resources are available.

Rainbo Electronic Reviews

http://www.rainboreviews.com

Rainbo Electronic Reviews publishes online fiction and mystery book reviews, cookbook reviews, children's book reviews, audiobook reviews, computer book, software reviews, DVD and video reviews, and reviews of other entertainment features - with new book and video reviews every month. Rainbo Electronic Reviews is proud to claim the title of the oldest online book reviews column, having been in continuous electronic publication since 1982. In 1982, we started publishing Rainbo Reviews online on CompuServe. In the late 1986 we moved to GEnie, then the online service of General Electric. In 1998 we reached out to the Internet and now, here we are with our own web site - Rainbo Reviews! We believe our online book reviews can provide a guide to better book selection, whether you get a book from a local bookstore, library or Amazon.com. As much as we love a good book, a bad book can ruin your whole day. Our book reviews are short and to the point, so you won't have to wade through an ocean of sterling prose written by a frustrated English major before you find out if we liked a book, cookbook, DVD, or audiobook. We write online reviews of books and videos you won't find in magazines, your local newspaper, or other websites. We'll tell you about great books from the smaller publishers with a special emphasis on our passions for mysteries, a great cookbook, and especially children's books. Children must be given one good book after another to develop good reading habits. And because we enjoy using our computers, we'll also write reviews of computer book and software - with a minimum of confusing jargon. We've been reviewing books online for more than 20 years now, so we've seen more computer books than Barnes and Noble. Authors and Publishers: please see our Book Reviews Submissions Guidelines.

Postcolonial Text

http://www.postcolonial.org

Postcolonial Text is an international, refereed, multi-disciplinary electronic journal presenting a global forum for both the critical discussion of postcolonial literature, culture, history, and theory, as well as postcolonial poetry and fiction. Thus Postcolonial Text provides a public space on the internet through which to disseminate otherwise difficult-to-access literary texts among a larger, truly international audience. It is concerned with ways of negotiating the various epistemological, cultural, social, and political links and disjunctures between postcolonial, western, and diasporic communities of writers, readers, and academics. Postcolonial Text fosters critical discussions about the culturally contested and, at times, theoretically slippery terrain of postcolonial studies. In particular, this e-journal examines the relationship between postcolonial studies, diaspora studies and such newly emerging fields as transnational cultural and globalization studies. The journal invites work that is concerned with different concepts of the nation; transnational and translocal forms of belonging; cosmopolitanisms; competing sites and venues of cultural knowledge production; the aesthetics and politics of postcolonial writing; cultural memory; the gap between the social and cultural realities of postcolonial writers and their critical reception at home and abroad; and the relationships between various modes of scripting oral, written, and visual texts across different cultures. At the same time, the journal recognizes that postcolonial studies can be appropriated as a master discourse of cultural identity that tends to homogenize and regulate culturally and geographically vastly different texts and identities. In order to remain critical of academically instituted forms of cultural knowledge production, Postcolonial Text remains committed to a rigorous analysis of the neocolonial and uneven power relationships between the North and the South at the crossroads of class, gender, and race. The following are some of Postcolonial Text's intended, distinctive contributions to postcolonial literary studies: The journal will publish work that investigates the multiple relationships between postcolonial, indigenous, and global discourses of cultural knowledge production. The journal also combines rigorously refereed academic articles with the publication of poetry and fiction from different traditions of postcolonial writing. As well, it pays particular critical attention to the ways in which the aesthetics of postcolonial texts inform their political projects and vice versa. Morevoer, as an open access e-journal, it uses the electronic medium to self-consciously and critically expand and intensify the critical exchange between postcolonial critics, theorists, and artists in the North and the South.

Hudson Review

http://www.hudsonreview.com

Founded in 1947, The Hudson Review is a quarterly magazine of literature and the arts published in New York City. Frederick Morgan, one of its founding editors, edited the magazine for its first fifty years. Paula Deitz has been the editor since 1998. Since its beginning, the magazine has dealt with the area where literature bears on the intellectual life of the time and on diverse aspects of American culture. It has no university affiliation and is not committed to any narrow academic aim or to any particular political perspective. The magazine serves as a major forum for the work of new writers and for the exploration of new developments in literature and the arts. By consistently maintaining its critical standards and a commitment to excellent writing, The Hudson Review has made a significant impact on the international literary climate. It has a distinguished record of publishing little-known or undiscovered writers, many of whom have become major literary figures. Each issue contains a wide range of material including: poetry, fiction, essays on literary and cultural topics, book reviews, reports from abroad, and chronicles covering film, theatre, dance, music and art. The Hudson Review is distributed in twenty-five countries. Click here for information about The Hudson Review's 55th Anniversary Issue. Click here to read an interview with Frederick Morgan.

Poetry Flash

http://www.poetryflash.org

Poetry Flash is dedicated to providing the widest possible access to poetry and literature. Unique in format and in community support, Poetry Flash is an important communication forum and vehicle for generating audience and interest in literary issues and events. Poetry Flash publishes quality reviews, poems, interviews, essays, and trade, submission, and award information for all creative writers---poetry and fiction. Poetry Flash also carries the most comprehensive listing of literary events in the West: the Calendar is an indispensable guide to the literary scene in all of California, and offers Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and selected national event listings. Although poetry is the editorial focus, interviews with novelists and writers of experimental fiction are featured. Poetry Flash, an essential tool for writers, publishers, and readers, has built community through literature for twenty-seven years. Funding cuts at the national level, however, have placed many nonprofit literary magazines and community-based arts organizations at risk. In 1993 the NEA funded forty-three literary magazines---in 1997 only four. Keeping the Flash in print is more critical now than ever before. Poetry Flash supports community literary diversity, vertically (from the budding writers to academics and established writers) and horizontally (providing audience development for magazines, presses, presenters, workshops, and academic programs). We have worked hard to maintain a viable organization in this climate, modifying our publishing schedule to six times per year. To continue to deliver the Flash every two months to 22,000 readers, we must rely on the generosity of private foundations, individual contributors, and volunteers to cover the majority of our operational expenses - printing, distribution, production, overhead (rent!), and editorial. Poetry Flash invites your support so that we may continue to make our essential services available to writers and appreciators of literature. Poetry Flash is a non-profit literary arts organization, and volunteers and interns are always welcome. Please send a resume with a cover letter or call (510)525-5476.

Black Issues Book Review

http://www.bibookreview.com

Black Issues Book Review is the only national magazine devoted exclusively to covering books by black authors and the interests of African-American readers. The magazine was founded in 1998 by William E. Cox, president of Cox, Matthews & Associates, Inc., which also published Black Issues in Higher Education and Community College Week. Within months of its January 1999 debut, Black Issues Book Review was selected one of the "the ten best new magazines" by The American Library Journal from more than a thousand new publications. Now in its seventh year in publication, Black Issues Book Review is aggressively charting its long-term future as the only magazine devoted exclusively to African-American interests in book publishing. In March 2006, BIBR was acquired by Target Market News, Inc., a Chicago-based news and research company that specializes in tracking African-American marketing and media. Ken Smikle, president of the firm, became the magazine's publisher. Each issue includes reviews of popular fiction and non-fiction, self-published titles, children's literature and books from university presses. Regular features include Between the Lines, affectionately known as BTL, the inside scoop on what's happening in the publishing industry; Flying Off the Shelves, a listing of the best-selling African American titles; Faith, inspirational, motivational and spiritual-based books; in addition to the monthly reviews of popular, literary, and experimental fiction, nonfiction, self-published, poetry and children's literature, BIBR provides up-to-date news on forthcoming author events, publications, conferences, shows and exhibits. Black Issues Book Review is distributed through paid subscriptions and newsstand sales in major book retailers and independent African American bookstores. Black Issues Book Review is an excellent source in building "word of mouth" for today's African-American authors and books.

Genome News Network

http://www.genomenewsnetwork.org

The Genome News Network (GNN) produces a lively and trusted online magazine that covers important developments in genomics research around the world. Our news coverage focuses on stories about genomics and human medicine, as well as the ways in which scientists are using genomics to find biological solutions to energy needs and environmental problems. The sequencing of the human genome has captured the imagination of people everywhere, including writers and artists. GNN reviews novels and non-fiction books that explore genomics and related themes. GNN also features an "Art Gallery" of images or art inspired by the study of genes and genomes, an indication that this new science is already part of our popular culture. The idea for GNN originated even before the human genome had been sequenced. The goal was to create an engaging and accessible news magazine about genomics that would advance the public understanding of science worldwide. The first issue of GNN was posted on the Web in March 2000. Today, GNN is published by the J. Craig Venter Institute, in Rockville, Maryland, a not-for-profit institute founded in 2002. Beyond news, GNN has genomics resources for scientists, educators, students, and the general public. GNN's online book, What,s A Genome?, is a lively introduction to genomics, and our Guide to Sequenced Genomes is an illustrated field guide to the more than 180 creatures whose genomes have been sequenced. Additional resources are below. In November 2004, Genome News Network suspended bi-weekly publication while staff reporters undertake some new writing projects. GNN,s news and features will continue to be online, and we will continue to update the Guide to Sequenced Genomes.
