Copies of issue 2 came rolling out of the press today, all warm and colorful, purring in hopes that they will find good readers to go to. Issue 2 is simply outstanding. Our inbox was overflowing with wonderful submissions by the time the March deadline hit. It took us a month to wade through it and to finish the hardest part of the Spilt Beans process: what goes in and what beautiful words must we pass by.... Trust me, it's not a job for the faint of heart, especially with the number of quality submissions that Enid, Oklahoma continually produces.
Unfortunately, this issue won't be available for sale until May 15th. I have to finish school and graduate before I can make it back to Enid and present to the community its own creativity in book form. But this issue is worth the wait. On May 15th you will find copies of it for $4 each at Davinci's Coffeehouse (by Jumbos Grocery) and Cafe Davincis (downtown).
A release party and poetry jam has not been scheduled due to my very busy schedule, but if there is enough interest, I might be able to plan one for May 25th. If you have a strong opinion on this, please comment below or send us an email at spiltbeansmagazine@gmail.com. Either way, I'll keep you updated.
Although we don't have a deadline yet, Spilt Beans is accepting submissions for issue 3. Check the website for updates about that as well.
That's all for now. I'll try to get a picture up of the cover of issue 2. It's a beauty!
