Shit Creek Review

[http://www.shitcreekreview.com "The Shit Creek Review"] is an online literary and art magazine (webzine or e-zine). Its content is mostly related to poetry, and includes work belonging the differing styles of formalism and free verse by established authors and new writers. It draws on the authors and resources of a number of online poetry forums, such as [http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/ Eratosphere] and [http://alsopreview.com/cgi-bin/gazebo/discus.cgi The Gazebo] .

History

It was founded by Australian poet Paul Stevens and has Nigel Holt and [http://www.poetrypf.co.uk/angelafrancepage.html Angela France] , who also edits the U.K. print magazine "iota" [http://www.iotapoetry.co.uk/new_editorial_team.htm] as its poetry editors, [http://blackyak.com/ Don Zirilli] as its art editor, and [http://imagineii.typepad.com/ Patricia Wallace Jones] as artist-in-residence. It has published many notable poets from the U.K., U.S. and Australia, including John Whitworth, Rhina Espaillat, R.S. Gwynn, Alison Brackenbury, Tim Murphy, Charlotte Runcie and Wendy Videlock.

The ezine was originally started by Stevens as a joke based on its name "Shit Creek Review", which is a not-so-subtle ironic allusion to the many literary magazines which use the formulaic title "X Creek (or River) Review", as well as incorporating a play on the Australian colloquialism [http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=112183 "Up Shit Creek in a barbed wire canoe without a paddle"] (meaning to be in serious difficulties), made famous by Australian comedian Barry Humphries through his persona of the ocker "Barry McKenzie".

tyle

"The Shit Creek Review" combines poetry with art which seeks to reflect somehow the content or feel of the poem. The look and layout changes fairly comprehensively from issue to issue, so there is no real continuity of visual style, apart from the fact that each new issue seems to create a new self-contained narrative appropriate to its theme. Most of the poetry uses the traditional forms of New Formalism, though there is also a strong representation of Free Verse.

"The Shit Creek Review" also publishes reviews and articles from time to time. Rose Kelleher's essay on 'Edgy vs. Nice' attracted the interest of "The Guardian's" Tim Radford [http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2008/mar/05/highereducation.comment] . Ms Kelleher's book, "Bundle o' Tinder" [http://www.inpressbooks.co.uk/bundle_otinder_kelleher_rose_i019692.aspx] , published by Waywiser Press, includes many poems first published in "The Shit Creek Review"; the book won the 2007 Anthony Hecht Poetry Prize [http://waywiser-press.com/rosekelleher.html] .
