jubilat


Rather than divide the literary arts into genres, jubilat seeks to promote a dialogue between different forms and schools, and to showcase the beauty and strangeness of the ordinary, demonstrating how experiments with language and image speak in a compelling way about who we are. It has always been our aim to publish not only the best in contemporary poetry, but to place it alongside a varied selection of reprints, found pieces, lyric prose, visual art, work in translation, and interviews of poets and other artists. Response to jubilat has been overwhelming. Work from recent issues has been selected for inclusion in Best American Poetry 2001, 2002, and 2005; The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses 2003 and 2004; and five times for reprint in Harper's magazine. The magazine has also been featured in Poets & Writers, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and on National Public Radio's All Things Considered, and was shown in the New York Public Library's 2002 exhibit New American Literary Magazines. We are proud to participate in the Academy of American Poet's National Poetry Month initiative as Media Sponsors, and in the Council of Literary Magazines and Presses' national Lit Mag and Small Press Fairs. Since 2001, we have also co-sponsored the jubilat/Jones Reading Series at the Jones Library in Amherst, MA.
