Publishers Weekly recently reported on the Sept. 8 debut of a local literary journal called
Revolver.
The new journal publishes a mix of prose, poetry, visual art, photography, and play excerpts, PW states.
Online content will be refreshed every couple of weeks, while a print edition will come out twice a year.
Revolver’s seven founding editors are part of a writing group that began meeting two years ago.
Esther Porter, a founding editor, explains that the journal came out of their monthly conversations: “We’d go out and close down bars fighting over stories, literature of all kinds. We wanted to have something to show for it.”
Reflecting the group's energy, the journal publishes pieces “that hit the brain like a bullet,” she says.
