We're using woodblock printing for the art in our NFTs. This one's buy our own Boo Trundle ... we like the tactile, human feeling of marks carved in wood. The medium offers a contrast to the deep digital dive we are taking with NFTs. If you're somebody who does woodblock art and would be interested in helping with what we're doing, email us beginanyway at atticusreview dot org or message us here.

Latest Atticus Review newsletter... on early websites, cluetrains, and the exchange of value online, from David Olimpio.

“Cluetrain got me drinking the Internet/website Kool-Aid pretty heavily. I wasn’t sure how somebody like me, an English major who had never studied computer science, was going to be a part of this digital revolution, but by god, I wanted in, particularly since it had such a poetically-titled manifesto…”

Last week we announced Atticus Review’s intention to venture into the NFT space. Responses to our news ran the gamut from curious approval to abject horror. Quite a few people nominated previously published Atticus poems as contenders for our first batch of NFTs. (Thank you!)

This week, we're talking about previously published work, perceptions about NFTs, and the energy conversation.

We sent out our first newsletter in a while last week. We've already received several great nominations from people interested in what we're doing. Thank you! We are really encouraged by your responses. We'll be in touch in the coming weeks. You can still nominate poems you'd like to see become an NFT by clicking the button you'll find in the letter.

Also, thanks to folks who have sent questions and comments. These have helped us identify what needs further clarification. We'll be putting together an FAQ in the coming days. For now, any communication is best directed to our email address.

Upcoming changes to format, minting literary NFTs at Atticus Review.

"This Was Back in the Typewriter Days": An Interview with Rick Ardinger

"People who do our taxes each year don’t understand why we’re doing the press. It makes no fiscal sense. Some people have boats and cars, some have good causes they devote their money to. Limberlost is ours."

"Episodic Memory Pervades": An Interview With Ricardo José González-Rothi

"The horse, like I was, is aware of its surroundings, the dangers and distractions, but the blinders allow it (and me) to focus on the road ahead, moving forward."

IDENTITY IN THE NATURAL WORLD: Andrew Squitiro’s LOCAL WEATHER
by Geoff Watkinson

"Neither the reader nor the narrator has rational answers to these questions. But it's the questions that aren’t asked, directly, that lurk in the backdrop of the lyricism."

"Daydreaming More Than Analyzing and Memorizing": Mariam Ahmed in Conversation With Brent Ameneyro

"I don’t believe writers become politically charged through peer influence or academic indoctrination, at least that wasn’t the case for me. I think writers tend to be inherently sensitive, acutely aware, and can’t help but point out when language is weaponized."

Open Eyes, Open Hands: Tenacity and Grief in Renee Emerson’s CHURCH LADIES
by Ian Williams

"This undercurrent of sacrifice cannot help but yield to a deeply and constantly felt grief that permeates this collection."

A book review by Ian Williams.

When he spoke, his voice sounded like the radio. He was asking for assistance, but he was not asking her. He was asking no one in particular. He simply said, looking up at the wall, “Perhaps someone could enumerate the distinguishing specifications of the latest machine.”

FICTION'S TRUTH
D. E. Lee reviews True Fiction by Sohrab Homi Fracis

"Does emotional impact affect us more than startling fact? A story is known to be true by the reaction it engenders. The content may be irrelevant. What never happened may be true."
