The culmination of almost two years of work, we are pleased to announce that our first print edition, Fogged Clarity 1 is being printed as we speak. I am immensely proud of the collection of work we assembled for our first tangible offering, and am confident that once you read it you will understand why. It features new stories from Benjamin Percy, Joe Meno, and Kennedy Weible and poetry from Bruce Smith, Michael Tyrell, and Terese...

In our May offering, writer Tom Matlack sits down with me to discuss The Good Men Project, the ladies of Singing In The Abbey share their album Wake Up, Sardis!, famed photographer Noah Kalina displays two galleries; West (Of Here), and Internet/Sex, author Nora Bonner writes an operatic elegy, poet Kevin Simmonds composes the final songs of Versace’s murderer in Unearthing House, Scott Hightower reviews Deborah Bogen’s latest...

April, the subtle tear of spring. These seasonal movements– scored by a languid cellist –are quaint in their sexuality. The sun asks no simple questions, and in its light I become a prospector panning damage for identity. This month T.C. Boyle sits down with me to discuss the inspiration behind Wild Child, we stream Judson Claiborne’s much anticipated second release, Time and Temperature, Thomas Matlack opines on being a good...

This month I sit down with poet David Groff to discuss the achingly beautiful anthology he co-edited, Persistent Voices: Poetry by Writers Lost to AIDS. I felt strangely close to David as we talked of death, God and art in a winter-dark radio station. His candor and insight made this interview one of my favorites. We are also proud to stream The Portland Cello Project’s album, The Thao and Justin Power Sessions. Blending the orchestral...

It has been one year since the clarity went live, and I am more excited about the journal then I’ve ever been. I am proud of the catalogue of work and interviews we have assembled and am honored to be able to work with brilliant, creative people everyday. I would like to extend a special thanks to web-designer and friend Ryan Daly. Without his dedication, support and belief Fogged Clarity would not be possible. I look forward to...

John Hemingway debuts his story Me and Henry Miller, Stuart “boy genius” Bogie shares his prog-jazz gem, Fall Down Seven Times, Stand up Eight, I sit down to chat with the enigmatic Daniel Pinchbeck, C.N. Bean sets a grass fire, Françoise Nielly cuts her canvases, and many other gifted artists interpret the human condition in beautiful ways. The clarity...

It was a pendulum September, and for thirty days I swung between discomfort and inspiration. This time around, New York was a vat of crackling oil; its energy scalding my ambitions, then renewing my vigor. Dear October, How are you my old friend? We have only met twenty six times, but I feel like I have known you much longer. In toast to our rich history I offer the following gifts: • An interview with author Jeffrey Rotter • The...

The malaise, resist it and know that the sweet nostalgia of autumn is upon us and the fog is thickening. Ernest Hemingway’s grandson John joins me this month to discuss a very interesting childhood, and we are honored to premier the immensely gifted Samantha Farrell’s new album, Luminous, right here on The Clarity. Terese Svoboda is eloquence manifested, as she debuts and reads two new poems, The Tree, Shaken and Which Poem Comes Last?...
