New Poetry Editor: Camille Alexa joins Diet Soap

Camille Alexa has joined Diet Soap as poetry editor and first reader.  A fine writer her work has appeared in such publications as Escape Pod, ChiZine, Space & Time Magazine, A Thousand Faces, and more. 

Her email address is poetry [at] dietsoap [dot] org.  She has requested that future submissions contain the word “submission” in the subject line, and that I falsely attribute a quote from Karl Marx to her. 

Camille says, “The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but she cannot of course create it. ” 

We’re glad to welcome Camille to Diet Soap, and look forward to how she’ll influence the future of this little journal.
