Heartbroken to learn today that Martha Silano has died. She was one of my favorite poets writing today. I had the honor to publish a number of her poems over the years in @northamerreview.bsky.social, and I'm in the midst of writing a life review of her work for @presencejournal.bsky.social 💔

Here’s an #EssayThread of eight example essays that I handed out to my Nonfiction Workshop students in our final workshop of the semester, which had thematic and craft similarities to their workshop drafts.

FWIW, since I had to look it up.

Would love to publish something about dead/abandoned malls, in the US or elsewhere, especially if the writer had notable experiences in a specific mall that is now dead. It would need to do more than recount a story, exploring larger ideas: aesthetics, politics, economics, etc. #editorswishlist

Would love to publish a narrative on #graphology (handwriting analysis) in the US & the history of (rivalry between?) the American Association of Handwriting Analysts & the American Handwriting Analysis Foundation. I can imagine it as a hybrid essay/memoir by a nonexpert #editorswishlist

Would love to publish an essay on The Theatre of Eternal Music, something narrative not just academic musicology. Bring La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela, et al to life #editorswishlist

Would love to publish a narrative (essay, story, poem) of #MaryMacLane in NAR, maybe about sex(uality), maybe about cinema (Men Who Have Made Love to Me), maybe about diaries (I Await the Devil's Coming) #EditorsWishlist Tag your favorite lit mag editor asking them what's on their wishlist!
