Fence Magazine

This is a literary journal that was founded because Rebecca Wolff apparently hated Gulf Coast or something when she was in Houston. Ever cover looks like somebody barfed a bunch of pencils at a page at high speed, and also every inside looks like somebody barfed a bunch of pencils at a page at high speed. Nice way of getting revenge, Rebecca. PS – I hope this review doesn’t prevent me from ever getting a poem in Fence Magazine.

RATING: 32%

i happened to find this randomly because it was on something like the 12th page of google after i searched "fence." so here's the deal, sparky: fence has more than enough literary merit and its editor has enough artistic sensibilities to be able to ignore and even quash your so-called "review," but i have to leave you a tip. if you want to "review" something, especially the SPAN of an ENTIRE MAGAZINE, you'd better come up with something a little better than "every inside looks like somebody barfed a punch of pencils." it's certainly easy enough to tell that your talents will never make it into the pages of fence, so i wouldn't worry about offending anyone with your word vomit. maybe you should go take a class, brush up on some grammar skills, and write something again when you have something worthwhile to say.

Oh, Christ. Quash a review? Is that supposed to be threatening?

laurie said...

Haha, yeah I thought quashing the review was funny, too. Look out, Glenn, they're going to quash you!! Aaaah!

Mr. Anonymous is an idiot.

That being said, he's published a lot of shit.

Anonymous is right, Sparky: your grammar sucks. Self-consciously ignoring capital letters, on the other hand, is as original and clever as anonymous trolling is brave, responsible and mature.

I bet Anonymous is bell hooks. Or maybe that girl from Juno.

John said...

But seriously, guys, this storm-in-a-teacup raises a very important question: how many artistic sensibilities are enough?

Fence provides several retarded children with rewarding part time work in the fields of illustration and graphic design. This blog is rife with anti-community elitists and cognitive bigots.
