In 1995, famous poet Gerald Stern came to Texas State to deliver a talk on the craft. Inside this video you’ll find an array of knowledge and insights.  Did you know that at 92 years old, Mr. Stern is still up and about? We wish him the best and are thankful for his contributions. Skip to around the 2:00 minute mark to begin the talk. Did you know that the Front Porch journal holds a catalog going back nearly 30 years of visiting famous writers and their readings, Q&A, shop talks, and lessons? You can explore all the videos at our Vimeo site here. 

We are looking for erasures, poetry, fiction, flash fiction, and non-fiction. We love publishing up-and-coming writers from across the land. Our tastes tend to gravitate toward the literary and emotional. Erasures are due in by Nov. 15 and click HERE for details. All other submissions are accepted year-round HERE, but submit now to guarantee you’re in the reading period.

Things are looking pretty grim for Tony: Won’t he ever make landfall?” Click here to find out!

In the brain is the church. In the church is the mother and father. In the mother and father is the organs. In the organs is the blood, mathematically speaking.” - Mathematics IIIIIII by Timothy Wojcik
