About
Summer 2015 Edition
The Summer Edition of Menacing Hedge is here, in all of its dark glory. It is graced with the powerful artwork of MANDEM, who also gave an entertaining and enlightening interview that is well worth the read. This edition also includes an interview of Darren C. Demaree by Jane Huffman about his book, The Pony Governor.
Our poetry contributors include: Deborah Bacharach, Krista Cox, Amber Edmondson, Alicia Elkort, Ruth Foley, Fox Frazier-Foley, Brenda Mann Hammack, Jennifer Hanks, Amy Elisabeth Smith, Lissa Kiernan, Andrew Koch, Kathleen Brewin Lewis and Emily Stoddard.
Our fiction contributors include: Timothy Day, Jay Gershwin, Kat Giordano and Connie Guo.
Please take time to indulge in Scary Bush where our contributors share their early efforts. Please also take time to listen to the audio recordings of our contributor's respective works.
This edition was produced by:
Kelly Boyker: Poetry editor
Craig Wallwork: Fiction editor
Gio Guillemette: Technical director and paperwork dealer-wither
Dickens: Chief of paperwork interference and specialist in rendering all untethered small objects to the Taking Things Place, wherever that is.
Menacing Hedge
Menacing Hedge is a quarterly journal of poetry, fiction and artwork, which is committed to fostering access to emerging and experimental poetry and prose. Ongoing publication is scheduled for the first weeks of July, October, January, and April. Menacing Hedge will carefully archive all its editions to ensure that an author's/artist's work will remain on the web for many, many years to come. Regrettably, Menacing Hedge cannot pay its contributors at this time.
Menacing Hedge accepts only original unpublished literary work; however, it will consider literary work on a case-by-case basis if it has appeared only in print but never on the web. In the case of art and photography, it is acceptable if the piece has appeared on the artist's website or elsewhere.
Upon acceptance of a literary piece, Menacing Hedge obtains first publishing rights and then all rights revert to the author. Menacing Hedge requests that if a published piece is later published elsewhere, that Menacing Hedge will be credited with first publication. Also, Menacing Hedge reserves the right to publish the piece in print.
Scary Bush
If we decide to accept your work, we will also invite you to submit one of your most cringeworthy efforts from the misty past to Menacing Hedge's evil twin, Scary Bush. Please see the Scary Bush page for examples.
