Spicaresque
- Spicaro
- The title of this web blog is a neologism created by Yago S. Cura: a compound of the derogatory word for Latinos, "spic," and the Spanish literary tradition, "Picaresque," from which the modern novel descends. Yago's poetry has appeared in Lungfull!, Borderlands, COMBO, LIT, U.S. Latino Review, PALABRA, Exquisite Corpse, Field, Slope, and The New Orleans Review. Yago's reviews have appeared in The St. Mark's Poetry Project Newsletter. In 2008, Yago was one of many narrators of the "Human Resources" episode of National Public Radio's "This American Life" that highlighted the NYC/DOE's gulag for alleged-against teachers: the Rubberroom. Yago's poetry manuscript, Spicaresque, was a finalist in the National Poetry Series and the Andres Montoya Poetry Prize.

Porque are you afraid de Spanglish?
"Nothing seems to inflame advocates of our nation's Anglo-Saxon traditions so much as this issue of language. Since a people's culture--it's music, literature, and customs--is invevitably expressed through its language, the growth of 'foreign' language use somehow implied the growth of foreign cultures. Since 1990, for instance, more than 32 million American spoke English as a second language, a phenomenal one-third increase over 1980, and for more than half of those 32 million, Spanish was the primary tongue"

Nice list! What's popping with Supermarket chapbook? I had to take myself off the picture. I'm pnoid about being seen with an elephant gun.
As for the magazine, check exquisite corpse. I like it as well. I'm going to write an article on mini-fiction for SA. Also, I've got a review of Cardenal in the TLS. It comes out in a few weeks.
Oh, and I've been thinking of a better idea. Babel bay, a forum for translators. Here questions about rights can be answered, translations posted, etc. I'm even going to ask KB about the thing.
Of course, that's not quite a magazine, but it's close.
