Tonight on Bibliocracy Radio, 8 PM on KPFK. MICHELLE
MEYERING, Editor of The Rattling Wall. Discussion about the dearth of literary
culture in Southern California annoys me, especially when I find that the
complainers, lamenters or discussers haven’t lately read a book or collection
by a deserving local or regional author, or purchased or subscribed to one of
the dozens of excellent regional literary journals published here, from
Riverside to Santa Monica, Beverly Hills to Pomona. Tonight, a program dedicated to celebrating
the third issue of a newish journal based in Southern
California but with national ambitions and appeal, a chance to
talk with its editor and one prominent contributor. Michelle Meyering founded and edits The Rattling Wall which specializes in
short fiction, travel essays and poetry, and is supported by the good folks at PEN Center USA . The newest issue, number three, offers the
occasion for me to welcome her back to Bibliocracy and hear a reading by DAVID ULIN, a contributor to the
magazine and, of course, chief book reviewer over at a local downtown newspaper
you may subscribe to – I do! He reads
his essay “Street, Haunting” in between talking with your humble host and his
terrific guest. Congratulations to
Michelle and The Rattling Wall. And to you, for buying a copy, subscribing,
and listening to this show on the radio, online or as a free download. You have excellent taste!
