i love a trick of the trade
new work from returning Keep Planning contributor Eric T. Racher today, which appropriates a textual form that is surely familiar to orders of magnitude more people than "experimental fiction", and which is certainly unlike anything i've ever published before. do check it out
have another batch of ruminations on writing, art, literature, culture, etc. up on Garden Scenery today. check it out:
you don't hear much about ballyhoo anymore
wrote up 1200 words on a very good ken jacobs movie and how it's like a spiral. check it out below
remember when two steve jobs biopics came out back to back and one was clearly Goofus and the other was clearly Gallant. what was up with that
new piece from returning Keep Planning contributor Israel A. Bonilla today, a fictional biography of an anthropologist who cannot help but search for answers to the mysteries which lie beyond the scope of all sciences – except, perhaps, poetry. do give it a read
new fiction from Hannah Smart in Keep Planning today, a fairly long short story about climbing a mountain which is often funny, sometimes moving, and in all respects a delight to read simply for the clear, confident precision of its construction. check it out below
now in Garden Scenery, stories about fruit, soldiers, and a cloud of dust. check them out below

new fiction from Eric Angal in Keep Planning today. i try not to play favorites as an editor, but i think this is a genuinely remarkable work of narrative art, and i'm so proud to be able to publish it – if you're going to read anything on the site, please read this
also loved this; it's under my skin now
it makes me so happy annea lockwood is still kicking
