Anyone who has been reading my blog for a while now knows
that I am a lover of independent magazines, both online and in print. Spook Magazine is a “literary arts mash-up”
which entered my radar back in December. What initially captured my eye was the
first issue’s absolutely stunning cover, created by the brilliant Stephanie
Matthews. As if the cover isn't stunning enough, this magazine is full of
flowing, poignant, masterful pieces of writing. Those of you who enjoy
devouring deliciously crafted poetry, fiction, and non-fiction writing,
purchase a print and/or digital copy of Spook! You will not be disappointed.
Also, you all simply must
listen to the glorious mixes on Spook’s Soundcloud page, Spook Radio. Good reads, good
visuals, good sounds. What more could one ask for?
In honor of its 125th year anniversary,
National Geographic has taken to Tumblr to curate a number of iconic vintage images
from the magazine’s archives, many of which were never published. It is safe to
say that FOUND is quickly becoming one of my favorite Tumblr blogs. The images are
absolutely breathtaking. If you have a minute (or 2) to spare, make sure you check it out.
