News! 

The editors of Left Bank Review/Echo Journal  are pleased to announce new updates to our readers. First, we're wrapping up the SPAM project on http://spam-project.blogspot.com . This will be our first "in physical print" offering! If any of you are interested in contributing to this effort, please enter your poems and/or collages for our review by March 31, 2007

Second, in October, 2007  all of our previous online journals and supplemental pieces will be sent to our affiliate publisher for print. The book, to be titled: Echoes of Modernism from the Virtual Century will be a combination text book containing traditional Modernist literature and our less traditional reviews surrounding that literature. We will post the first chapter on this web site.

Call For Papers!

We're busier than ever! This translates to multiple opportunities for scholars, writers, and artists to infuse their talent into our virtual community! We are currently seeking submissions for 2nd Quarter, 2007 and 4th Quarter, 2007.  Please click here for details!

This issue of the LBR deals with the small presses of the 20th century --their publications and their writers-- from The Dial and Margaret Fuller to the Harlem Renaissance and Jean Toomer. Two articles, "The Influence of Little Magazines in the Early Twentieth Century" and "Literary Periodicals of the Harlem Renaissance: The Migration of African-American Voices from Silence to Expression," cover this history. Additional articles include a biography of Ezra Pound's life, a discussion of the Adelphi, and a look at the influence of limited mass production on the publishing industry. Our profile series grows with this edition, too, as ten more writers are added.

The Winter/Spring issue of EJ, introduces our readership to the wonderful talents of artist Jessica Gregory and musician Melanie DeMore. Both women are making exciting contributions to the arts and humanities. We also have three poets and a fashion designer, Daisy Pomeroy, for you to meet, as well as a pictorial tour of the historic missions located in San Antonio, Texas.
