Magazine. Poetry. Fiction. Literary Nonfiction. The first issue of THE EPIC RITES JOURNAL is absolute dynamite! It features new poetry by Rob Plath, John Yamrus, Gerald Locklin, Todd Moore, John Dorsey, Tony Moffeit, Jason Hardung, Wolfgang Carstens, Ben Smith, Casey Quinn, Jack Henry, Erek Smith, Mathias Nelson, Mike Meraz and Zach King-Smith; new prose by William Taylor Jr, Zack Wilson, Pablo Vision, Karl Koweski, Rob Plath, John Yamrus, Todd Moore, Tony Moffeit and Mark Cobb. The centerfold is a massive, no-holds barred forty page interview with the late, great Todd Moore. Forget about "small" press journals that are nothing more than poorly edited, photocopied, crudely constructed pamphlets held together by rusty staples, dental floss and bubble gum. THE EPIC RITES JOURNAL is a 138-page, perfect bound, professionally printed and assembled book! The Epic Rites Journal is dedicated to Todd Moore. These sticks of dynamite are for you!
