Publisher's description: The Main Street Rag is an independent small press literary magazine that features poetry, short fiction, essays, photography, reviews, and interviews. It is produced by the Main Street Rag Publishing Company which also publishes books and produces projects for other small press publishers.
Our magazine is eclectic, but we favor edgy material for poetry and fiction—even in the humor we publish. Essays we feature are more often sociopolitical commentary as opposed to the how to of writing. Over the years we’ve interviewed such people as Gwendolyn Brooks, Anthony Bukoski, Rita Dove, Joy Harjo, Yusef Komunyakaa, and David Slavitt.
Each issue includes an interview with a featured artist, usually a literary artist, but we have also interviewed photographers, visual artists, and musicians.
Additional information regarding our magazine and Main Street Rag titles are available on our website. Back issues of the literary magazine and books published on one of the Main Street Rag labels can be purchased through the Main Street Rag Online Bookstore.
