#28: Thus Spake the Corpse: Volume 1 - Andrei Codrescu and Laura Rosenthal
Exquisite Corpse was a journal founded and edited by Andrei Codrescu
that prides itself on publishing the sort of work never to be found in
an MFA program. The Corpse took potshots at the establishment,
attracting three never-quite-materializing threats of lawsuits. This is
the first of two volumes that reprint highlights of the Corpse
published between 1988 and 1998. (Earlier work was in another
collection.)
The contents range over a various types of poetry and essays, and include many items that establishment journals wouldn't be caught bankrupt publishing. Whether or not they work for you is personal, but not many people should doubt that movements against the mainstream are a good thing in literature.
If you want to see the latest incarnations of the Corpse, see its website now that the print version is no longer published.
