The Newer York publishes weird literature. No (standard) short-stories, no poetry, no photography (in print). We publish everything else: aphorisms, lists, epigrams, personal letters, poems in morse code, fake book reviews, movie pitches, flash-fiction, fictional glossaries, employment surveys, web forums, Craigslist ads, and other absurdities.

John Mortara

John Mortara is a long list of very bad ideas. John Mortara is exactly why it didn’t work out. John Mortara is the weird feeling you have about this. John Mortara is worth a picture and a picture is worth a thousand words and at 25 cents a word that’s almost $8,000! John Mortara has his cake but refuses to eat it. John Mortara is poet laureate of FEELING VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. John has a new book out with theNewerYork.
