Waterlogged August is currently seeking audio readings. Poets, writers, essayists: record yourself reading your work in short (no longer than eight minutes) clips and send them to Waterloggedaugust@gmail.com.

We've got a lot of updates coming within the next few weeks. Check back often for poetry from Matthew Rich and Colin James, as well as photography from Denise Alba.

IMPORTANT: We are still looking for submissions of mp3 readings.If you've got poetry, essay, prose, etc. and you have recorded them in mp3 format, we want to hear from you. The best way to get them to us is via a zip file e-mailed to us, but if you've got a better way (i.e. a myspace page or some other online media site), we would prefer that. 

For photographers, we would love to see slideshows or movies, or any other interesting content you might have.

A few items of interest to those folks who have submitted work to Waterlogged August recently.

Web-designer-extraordinaire and Waterlogged photo guru Joe Arthur and I have been friends since kindergarten, and in that time we’ve developed a sort of hybrid language that consists of equal parts English and ridiculous, nonsensical gibberish. For example, Joe might call me up and say, “Yatata, Yahtzee,” and strangely enough, I’ll know exactly what he means. Maybe that’s why we’ve decided to invest our time on this project: it gives us an opportunity to combine our strongest moments of gibberish to create something crystal clear, something tangible for the masses. After all, our gibberish isn’t really just gibberish; to us, it all means something, and more often than not, that something can turn into pretty spectacular stuff....
