Red Fez Publications Names New Poetry Editor
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Red Fez Publications Names New Poetry Editor
The evolution of Red Fez Publications continues with the addition of Claudia Lamar to the editorial staff.
September 16, 2010--Red Fez Publications has appointed Claudia Lamar as associate poetry editor. Claudia joins the staff of Head Poetry Editor Michael D. Grover for the 29th issue of Red Fez, due out in December 2010.
Currently a student at the University of Metaphysical Sciences in Arcata, California, Claudia gained experience as a copywriter, editor and production coordinator at Jack Brain & Associates Inc. in Castro Valley, California. Claudia assisted with editorial duties for a 1400-page anthology of women writers, proofreading and line editing short stories, plays, and poems.
Ms. Lamar is also bilingual so she can reject bad poetry in both Spanish and English.
Claudia has indicated that “She really wants to be a whirling dervish…”
According to Red Fez, “We already employ a poem dervish and we’re allergic to undue whirling, so she’s stuck as poetry editor for now.”
Claudia begins her editing duties at Red Fez effective immediately. Recent spying of her facebook page indicates she is “writing a poem about phantom kangaroos.” That is surely a metaphor for something deep and literary. And bouncy-bouncy.
For more information on Claudia visit www.claudialamar.com or www.redfez.net

The evolution of Red Fez Publications continues with the addition of Andy Meisenheimer to the editorial staff. Beginning with the 29th issue of Red Fez, the small press will never be the same.
September 12, 2010--Red Fez Publications has appointed Andy Meisenheimer as associate fiction editor. Andy joins the staff of Head Fiction Editor Patrick Simonelli, and will begin his toil and torment with the 29th issue of Red Fez, due out in December 2010.

Red Fez Publication’s Head Fiction Editor, Patrick Simonelli says: “He has an impressive resume. He has a name we can easily make fun of. ... And looking at the places he's worked I don't think he is one of my many enemies trying to get close to me, then kill me.”

Meisenheimer begins his editing duties at Red Fez effective immediately. This is sure to launch him into small press super stardom or in the very least tarnish his reputation for working in Christian Publishing forever. For more information visit www.andymeisenheimer.comor editorialdepartment.com.

Red Fez Publications releases 28th Issue online.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The evolution of Red Fez Publications continues with the release of the 28th issue online at www.redfez.net. Site updates, new features, and additions to the editorial staff provide the framework for the latest vision of Red Fez.
September 1, 2010-- Over the past few months, Red Fez Publications has evolved and grown, allowing a more interactive experience on the site while continuing to focus efforts on providing engaging content. Submissions for this issue doubled. This along with the addition of audio pieces and the resurrection of the popular column, “Observations of a Dumb Polack”, make for a packed issue.
Site updates since the last issue include an auto-generated, random story of the week. Very much like the recent addition of a poem of the week, these weekly picks are another way of showcasing past works. The archives at Red Fez are unique in that the database of stories and poems are searchable by not only style but category, issue, and tags related to theme.
New features include audio by Tim Murray and the Corporate Cobras. Expanding the video section is a short video by Cecelia Chapman made in collaboration with Jeff Crouch.
Karl Koweski's “Observations of a Dumb Polack” makes a comeback at Red Fez. “Observations” was a popular column that appeared at Zygote in my Coffee from 2006 until May 2010 when Zygote folded. Karl is the author of several chapbooks including “Industrial Strip” published by Covert Press and “Diminishing Returns” published by Sunnyoutside. In 2009, Tainted Coffee Press released a collaborative chapbook of short stories from Karl Koweski and Melissa Hansen as part of the 69 Flipbook series.
The fiction and poetry sections of this issue are guided by the editorial vision of two new head editors. Patrick Simonelli, of Illinois, is the new Head Fiction Editor. Patrick is the founding editor and webmaster of LitVision, an online literary magazine. He published the novel, Bukowski Never Did This: A Year in the Life of An Underground Writer and His Family by Jack Saunders, through LitVision Press in August 2005. Patrick was also the Copy Editor/Proofreader of Game Quest, a novel by Leopold McGinnis, founder of Red Fez Publications.
Michael D. Grover joins the editorial staff as the new Head Poetry Editor. “Now that I'm an editor of a magazine where I don't just throw up all the stuff I want, I see the decisions and cuts are tough.” Michael is a resident artist at The Collingwood Arts Center in Toledo, Ohio. He is the founding editor and publisher of Covert Press, an independent publisher of poetry chapbooks. Recent titles include Kelley Jean White's “In Memory of the Body Donors” and John Dorsey's “The Year Joe Brainard Died”.
Former head poetry editor, Rob Taylor, announced he would be leaving Red Fez at the conclusion of this issue to concentrate on his upcoming book and editing duties at One Ghana, One Voice. Rob has been with Red Fez since 2007.
Editor-in-Chief, Michele McDannold, said the poetry selected for this issue represents Red Fez Publication's “eclectic vision of literary excellence”. Along with Michael D. Grover, poetry editors Rob Taylor and R.W. Watkins present the poetry of Alan Britt, Nicholas Orlando Bruno, Janet Butler, Harry Calhoun, Alan Catlin, Anna Donovan, Craig Firsdon, John Grochalski, Steven Gulvezan, Holly Jaffe, Peycho Kanev, Cindy M. Kelly, Lyn Lifshin, David McLean, Theron Moore, Andrew Periale, M.P. Powers, JM Reinbold, Andrew Rihn, Sarah Sarai, Peter Schwartz, James Valvis, Michelle Williams, and Thomas Zimmerman.
The fiction selections run the gamut of styles and topics, from the horror of voodoo revenge in the bayou to the drama of ex-lovers at the trekkie convention. Michele McDannold filled in for the vacant, fiction editor position with the final selections chosen by Patrick Simonelli. Included in this issue are stories and flash fiction by Mike Boyle, J. Claudius Cloyd, Dylan Gilbert, David Hughes, Margaret Karmazin, Len Kuntz, Mary Ann Loesch, Randi Suzanne Meyer, Josh Olsen, Michelle Ong, Brent Powers, Luis Rivas, Samuel Snoek-Brown, Jon Tait, William Taylor Jr., and Steve Wheeler.
Red Fez Publications will continue to evolve in the coming months with the filling of vacancies in the editorial staff and plans to incorporate online chapbooks. Submissions for the next issue due out in December are open now. For more information go to www.redfez.net.

Karl Koweski joins Red Fez Publications as Columnist
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The evolution of Red Fez Publications continues with the addition of staff columnist, Karl Koweski. Koweksi's column, “Observations of a Dumb Polack” will begin running in the September issue of Red Fez.
August 27, 2010--Red Fez Publications recently announced that Karl Koweski has joined the online journal as a staff columnist. Beginning with the September issue, Karl will reprise his role as author of the popular column “Observations of a Dumb Polack”. Zygote in my Coffee published the column from 2006 until May 2010 when it announced its defunct status.
The column will appear at Red Fez Publications for the first time in Issue #28, due out September 1. “Snagging Karl to continue the Observations column for Red Fez was a selfish act. I loved reading it on Zygote and hated to see it put to rest,” said Michele McDannold, editor.
Mrs. McDannold goes on to say, “This first column for Red Fez does not disappoint. I wonder how many alter-egos Karl has. This one is about Vic, his chronic masturbating and quest for sex during a Wizards and Warlocks campaign.”
Karl, who was a co-editor at Zygote in my Coffee, is the host of “The Polish Hammer Poetry Hour” on blogtalk radio. He is the author of several chapbooks including “Industrial Strip” published by Covert Press and “Diminishing Returns” published by Sunnyoutside. In 2009, Tainted Coffee Press released a collaborative chapbook of short stories from Karl Koweski and Melissa Hansen as part of the 69 Flipbook series. Karl's poetry and short stories have been published widely throughout the small press.
"Koweski is a ‘meat-and-potatoes’ poet. No fancy language, no speaking over your head. When he writes about the real life you don’t want to see, like babies of dopeheads, disillusionment with a Wild West show, and the painful loss of a memory-laden car, you take his side.”-- Cindy Rosmus, editor of Yellow Mama.
Red Fez Publications will continue to publish “Observations of a Dumb Polack” in its quarterly issues. For more information go to www.redfez.net.
