Sam Herschel Wein & I started dreaming up Underblong last summer during a visit Sam made to Lubbock, where I’m currently based. & of course we had to do a photoshoot in my yard with a giant scarf Sam brought along (photos by Jeff Gilbert).
I’m so in awe of this friendship & everything we’ve imagined and made together. We’re also working on a joint chapbook called Gesundheit! & other poems. I think it’s going to be just as magique & blongy as Underblong.
Running a journal with only two people is a lot of work. I’m so glad I’ve had Sam by my side. Thank you, Sam, for your encouragement and for all the work you put into our journal. I know Underblong will just keep underblonging bigger & blongier.
