Dear Knockout Readers,
We've been getting lots and lots of submission, which is fantastic, but Knockout is a
two-man ship. (Perhaps a dinghy?) Jeremy and I therefore need the summer to focus on getting Knockout #3 out on time (Fall of 2009)and we need to go on a promoting binge for the 2009 International Reginald Shepherd Memorial Poetry Prize, which has a deadline of August 31, 2009.
For this reason, Knockout will not be considering unsolicited submissions from June to August this year. Any submissions received during this period will not be read, and we'll delete them. We'll begin taking submissions again on September 1.
Of course, rest assured that we will be accepting entries for the 2009 Reginald Shepherd Memorial Poetry Prize. For guidelines, see www.knockoutlit.org/rsprize.htm.
Thanks for the submissions and for helping make KO great.
Welcome to Knockout Literary Magazine's Blog. Here, Jeremy and Brett, the editors of KO, will pontificate, rant, post interesting links, and generally mouth-off. We'll also post new developments about KO contributors, literary magazines, ducks, and everything else in the world.

ok, this is sort of amazing.
Paste Magazine, a fine damn publication, has released Obamicon and Luvicon, two online apps that let you create fun posters and other gear. The former program lets you create posters similar to the Shepard Fairey's iconic Obama poster.
Here's the result of my mash-up. Note: This is Brett (me) in the picture, but dressed up a few Halloweens back as a poetry professor. I had a rather large, fake mustache (though I have a real one now), a Christmas sweater, a tweed jacket (with those wacky elbow coverings) and for the entire evening I carried a bunch of Derrida and Joyce around and pontificated about methods of discourse and modes of being.
In retrospect, I look a little more like Sherlock Holmes than a poetry professor, but what's done is done.
