Gobshite Quarterly Subject: Contemporary Literature / Poetry / Marginalia Category: Magazine Country of Origin: USA The brainchild of a Portland, Oregon-based collective of shadowy background figures, Gobshite Quarterly provides a forum for the neglected promise of a global village by featuring international and regional voices. To truly present the best writing from around the world, Gobshite Quarterly bilingually publishes works originally written in languages other than English. (We feature original works in English too.) Think of us as a coffee shop, or a certain gin joint in Casablanca. Recent events have proven that, for better or worse, we're all in this together, even if we can't agree what this is. Gobshite Quarterly offers local perspectives from other locations. Our contributors look at trends or topics that enthuse and/or edify and/or alarm. Gobshite Quarterly is your Rosetta Stone for the New World Order, baptised in legible fonts.
