There is a brand new issue of InDigest up online, right now!

We are celebrating our one-year anniversary by having some past contributors showcase some of their newest work.

Here is the scoop on the issue:

InPoetics:
New poetry from Stephen Burt, Ada Limon, Brad Liening, Meggie Elder, Jess Grover, and Erica Wright

InNarratives:
"The Town Secrets," an excerpt from a novel-in-progress, Kings of the Wild Frontier by Meakin Armstrong.

"Interior Illusions," an excerpt from a novella in progress of the same title by Lech Harris.

"Hunting Bambi," a new short story from J. Albin Larson.

InErratica:
In Blunt Force Trauma, a new column about underrepresented books and authors, columnist Joe Finck tackles the legacy of Jim Thompson, the classic pulp novelist.

In Bedside Stacks, Ashleigh A. Lambert takes on The Miracle Letters of T. Rimberg by Geoff Herbach and Vacation by Deb Olin Unferth.

InMusic:
InDigest editor Dustin Luke Nelson interviews composer Ted Hearne, and John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats.

InGallery:
Paintings from Kara Hendershot.

Thanks, once again and always, for reading. We can't overstate how pleased we are to have the opportunity to publish new, interesting, and compelling work for just over a year now. And a special thanks to all who have lent a hand to make this past year possible. First, Dustin and I would like to thank Jesse Sawyer and Chris Koza, two of the founding editors of InDigest. This magazine would not exist without their presence in the beginning. And thanks to all who have given their time in some way or another over the year: Jeremy Smith, Reina Podell, Jay Peterson, Alex Lemon, Charles Greene, Ashleigh Lambert, Jess Grover, Ryan Thompson, Chris Thompson, Dan Wieken, and Neil Reiter - there are a probably a lot of people we are missing here, and we're sorry if we missed you. Suffice to say that David and Dustin are not InDigest by themselves, it takes a whole lot of people to keep this running. Thank you all. And thank you for reading.

David and Dustin
Editors, InDigest Magazine

This isn't really street art, at least how it would generally be defined. But it looked like art to me when I took the picture on election night.

These Hitchcock/Life is Beautiful pieces are by an artist who is calling himself Mr. Brainwash. His work has been appearing all over Manhattan lately, and it is vaguely Banksian, but very good and has a distinctive quality all it's own. I've got a little cache of his work building up that I'll be posting over the next couple of weeks, but he seems to be an artist to watch. As is par for the course with this kind of artist, his website is vague and doesn't give any specifics on who he is (which is how it has to be: art is a crime), but he seems to be the artist responsible for the pastes of Obama as Superman that have appeared all over New York. I have posted a couple photos of these on here in the past. Many of his stencils are very ambitious. I took this photo the night that the world was blessed with a new American president, but just tonight I saw a series of these on Houston that were at least fifteen feet tall. Very beautiful, very ambitious.

He is also the artist who did the Joker-esque portrait in the post prior to this one. (there are a whole series of these pseudo- Warhol Marilyn Monroe meets the Joker portraits of various pop culture figures in America)

Very good work, check back for more work from Mr. Brainwash.
