Okay, guys. I’ll be honest. I was a bit unsure how this interview would fly. The Glass Garage Collective is not a literary magazine in any traditional sense. And Sarah Wells is not (presently) a literary-journal editor so much as a curator of visual arts. As your devoted guide to all things lit-mag, I did not want to disappoint.
Great interview, more a casual chat with lots of information. I love the fact that people exist who do such great work with such enthusiasm. It's good to see Literature defined as literatures, one being an austere object of critical reverence, the other allowing many ordinary voices to be heard, ones who don't have agents, publishers, and proofreaders. There are out there in many ordinary classrooms, young people writing stories and essays that have many grammatical errors, but express, despite many limitations, visions that are strong and unique. It was great to bring attention to such important endeavors. I taught English for many years in Brooklyn NY and read so many excellent personal stories and essays, many "hindered" by grammatical errors, but nonetheless powerful and meaningful. It is good to know that places exist that take such "lesser" narratives important and profound. Great, great interview. Thank you for bringing this project to light. RT
This whole concept is exciting and relevant to the madcap images and detritus of our day !!! How significant ! a new concept of conception can communicate our confines and conflagrations ! Yes !
