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.
SPook Magazine looks amazing! Thanks for the heads up :]
ReplyDeleteThat song is beautiful
ReplyDeletenever thought I'd like anything that had Tyler the creator's name attached to it, but it really is nice.
He just creeps me out too much. Nice post. And post more PLEASE.
Lol! Yes, Tyler is an acquired taste. He is a bit much sometimes, yes, but he does make good pretty good music in my opinion. He's definitely not for everybody though! :)
DeleteAnd I will do my best to post more!
I'm definitely checking out that Nakeya piece. The term "good hair" just gets under my skin! Sometimes I even catch myself saying it and I have to stop and correct myself automatically.

ReplyDeleteThank you guys so much for the feedback :)
ReplyDeleteI too am a lover of the independent arts and magazines. Thank you for opening my eyes to Spook Magazine that had been apparently flying under my radar. National Geographic taking to Tumblr to publish previously unpublished pictures is like Christmas. Thank you for including the link! The pictures are so powerful and so moving that it would be a shame to pass them by. I think my favorite is the one with all of the men decorating the cake because it is breaking out of the gender norms. Until pressing play I had not heard of the artists singing. I am glad that I did. The song was breezy and you just can’t help but fall in love.
