About Me


The Awkward Alligator is an independent literary magazine lovingly shuffled together and passed around the world by the the artist's and writer's collective RE:
RE: is for play, serious and otherwise. Created and maintained as a collective, its efforts are in support of significant work - textual, visual, or both. Work that is often marginalized or ignored outright by established institutions. Our ongoing projects include The Awkward Alligator , the Excerpts project page, The Wish Tank , and several pieces of mail art. Each is unique in the expression and experimentation it affords. Experimentation in image, language, context, and culture. Originality but also accessibility are essential to the discourse and community support we hope to create. The ability to do good work worth the risk and show decency towards others in their work are the only conditions for contribution. If you have a desire to be added to our mailing list, to get involved, or if you just have a general inquiry, you can reach us at: [email protected]
P.S. We can't seem to get our links to work on this page. If you want to access our many project pages see our blog updates above--links tend to work for us there. Now, back to our magazine...

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You! And when I say 'You!' I obviously mean anyone who wants to submit his or her poetry, fiction, letters, essays or some such things to the zine. Who can submit? Anyone! (snarl!) When can anyone submit? Anytime! (Gnash and roar!) I mean all of this with the utmost sincerity. Really, look at my face.

If a person such as yourself, you, reading this is wondering how to submit, it is very simple. You can send your submission to '[email protected]' This is no lie. Also, occasionally, there may be a person diddlebopping on this... "social networking" device that is all the rage these days, so you can look for, if you felt so inclined, the AIM screen name 'AwkwardAlligator'. This is also the complete truth. And of course, there is MySpace, which I am petitioning to be called AwkwardSpace in the future. Tell your friends, or be slashed!
