The New York Times gave me a nice morale boost the other day (the article came out on April 7, but I don’t think I saw it until the next day).

Entitled, “Literary Journals Thrive, on Paper and Otherwise,” it gives us all a bit of hope. With all the articles about the decline of literature and poetry and the printed word and the institutions that support them, it was nice to see the other side of the coin.

The argument I liked most, was that so many lit mags are labors of love. As such, the publishers are driven to produce them as irrespective of financial success as possible.
