“In a time when literary review venues have been shuttering or shrinking, Pin is a

highly welcome new space! Not only will it be a place for us to publish and read thoughtful

reviews, it will also feature essays about writing and poetics. We need to be able

to think with each other, to learn from each other, and to challenge each other.

All gratitude to Antiphony for taking this leap.” —Julie Carr

“Since its arrival just a few years ago, Antiphony Press has grown into the promise its

name suggests. We find an ever-expanding chorus of voices in conversation with each other,

a call and response music that grows,

that is always more than the sum of individual parts. We find community.

Inevitable that Pin would join the conversation -

a drifting, rhizomal, contemporary, independent, thoughtful,

generous, expansive exploration of poetry and poetics.

This beautiful journal is an invitation I am happy to receive."—Adrian Lürssen

“I like to think to review is still to re-view, but quite often that's not a given and it takes

a “pin” to view that again.

The first issue of ‘Pin//a journal of contemporary poetics’ re-views the “many systems of derangements”

across public and private, personal and political, “the language-protocol of diagnosis” “or am I / surviving just barely, if at all,”

touch as moving around inside-inside-poems,

particular ruins, perhaps Author’s Own, or images, yes, still and moving screenshots, and then visual poetry,

indexical litanies, wrong or [WORKING TITLE]s, chimeric dialogues, and reading being “a day dissimulating as text

and so compressed into slightly more than a half hour”—or else just say: call and respond: antiphony.”—Yiannis Andronikidis
