The E-Reading Age

Dispatches from PS Blog Editor Claire Harlan Orsi

By now it’s old news: Prairie Schooner is on Kindle! Don’t worry: our 86 year old print magazine isn’t going anywhere. But as Ted Wheeler (PS’s Web Editor and the man who made the transition to Kindle possible) says, the e-reader format of the magazine will “offer long-time readers of the journal a new way to enjoy PS, and expand our audience to include literary readers with devices whose normal stable of journals might not be available as an e-book.”

Fall Issue Cover!

Check out the gorgeous cover art from New Jersey based artist Kati Vilim. Using techniques ranging from oil painting, printing and drawing to electric light installation and digital animation, Vilim's work investigates visual culture as abstract system, creating new content based on the combination of algorithm, color theory, and structures composed of ratio and rhythm.

Stay tuned for the Fall Issue's debut, coming soon!
