Butt Teen
Story by Rachel Glaser from Capgun, which doesn't seem to exist anymore. I had poems in the same issue of Capgun titled "from ORGANIC COLD-PRESSED COCONUT OIL" I think.
FLATBED, SEABED
Story by Tara Wray from Pindeldyboz, which existed 2000-2010, publishing things online and in print. I had a writing class with Tara at NYU and she introduced me to Joy Williams.
Florals
Story by Rebecca Curtis from first issue of NOON in 2000. I recommend Rebecca Curtis' story-collection Twenty Grand.
LOVE IS AN ARRANGEMENT / LOVE IS A DERANGEMENT
Story by Kristen Iskandrian from Mississippi Review, which used to be edited by Frederick Barthelme, who now edits New World Writing.
LIKABLE
Story by Deb Olin Unferth, whose story-collection Wait Till You See Me Dance I'm currently enjoying, from issue 12 of NOON.
About Mixtapes
These mixtapes are a way for the Neutral Spaces community to read and share each others writing.
The idea is to go through the site and select 5 pieces from 5 authors.
For Neutral Spaces authors, these get collected and you are given a space to write about your mini-collection.
On the page, the curator and the 5 selected authors have their website linked, together with the 5 external links for the chosen work.
If you run a journal, I would love to spotlight your site with 5 pieces, you can use the introduction to let people know what you're trying to do with your site.
If you want to put together a mixtape, e-mail me.
