Dodo Eraser Issue #2

Ladies and gentlemen, in-betweeners and outsiders, it’s time for Dodo Eraser Issue #2! From this issue forth, new issues will be compiled on our monthly reading days, featuring the daily writing that we’ve published since the previous reading, plus a new batch. This is so anyone who has not been following us daily can play catch-up, while those who have can find a few new things to read (without being completely overwhelmed). Issue #2 features 19 poems, 6 stories, and 2 reviews from 21 writers. Of that, the work of Amy DeBellis, Christian Hanz Lozada, Corey Mesler, and Chisom Nsiegbunam is new today. As always, submissions are open. We will be on pause from publishing until next Monday so as to give you time to go through this issue and give myself time to catch up on submissions.

Tonight, we have a prose reading featuring Avee Chaudhuri, Amy DeBellis, Wade Harris, Tania Jaramillo, Michael McSweeney, Mallory Smart, and Gina Twardosz. If you would like to attend, please contact us on Twitter @dodo_eraser or email dodoerasermag@gmail.com.

Other announcements will wait for now, or the specifics will. We will have a virtual reading next month, and it was recently announced that we will be holding our first in-person reading in Baltimore on March 5 at Ottobar, as part of the BRUISER bookfair. We have some great lineups and we should be announcing them next week.

Thank you to everyone who continues to send work as I get my bearings on this new project. The response has been both wonderful and overwhelming, and there’s still a lot of work to be done before the methodology feels like routine. Some of that has to do with site changes I need to implement, recordings I need to edit and upload, etc. While also staying on top of my own writing and my personal life. At some point, I may need to enlist some help, but for now, the dodo will continue to ride solo until it’s proven clear the scope has grown past what I can manage alone.

Now, please enjoy the issue.
