Weave Review on Newpages!


Weave would like to express our gratitude to Newpages.com and Terri Denton for the lovely review of our second issue. We are so pleased that they felt our vision - Writing •Art • Diversity • Community - came shining through the work published in our pages. An excerpt:

"An unpretentious magazine like Weave might be overlooked for its small, chapbook style format, but to pass this issue by would be a mistake of literary consequence. Subtitled “Writing •Art • Diversity • Community,” the editors of Weave could not have thought of anything better than these words, for they are all to be found within the magazine’s covers.
"

Congrats to all the Weave contributors, especially Frank, Davka, Devon, J. Richard, Scott and Andrena, whose work were all mentioned specifically in the review. We also hope that Weave will flourish and "stand taller" as we continue to bring you the best in contemporary art and literary work.
