MAGAZINE LINES:
Mêlée Live, a multimedia magazine of poetry, politics and art published three times a year.
Mêlée Live is the descendant of Mêlée magazine (co-created and co-edited by poets Chris Pappas and Lisa Holmes), which quickly (and briefly) got the attention of the inside/outside poetry community in 2007 with a de-emphasis of credentials and a re-emphasis on poetry performance and inclusive, relevant content.
Mêlée Live Pocket Edition, only the most essential “creative” content from Mêlée Live in a portable Edition.
BLUE CHIP WRITERS, an annual anthology of the best poetry from America’s most promising high school-aged poets (15-18). This anthology was developed and is edited by high-school aged poets.
