MAGAZINE SPOTLIGHT: LTTR

LTTR is an annual collectively made art journal from a community of 
queer and feminist artists, writers and cultural producers.  The first 
issue was titled "Lesbians To The Rescue" -- the second "Listen 
Translate Translate Record."  Each issue is handmade and unique, with a 
format that defies magazine conventions.  The new third issue is many 
loose pieces -- booklets and single sheets of paper -- wrapped in a 
screenprinted manila envelope and with the theme "Practice More 
Failure" -- seeking to enthuse process and practice as opposed to the 
masterpiece.  Artists featured in LTTR 3 include Aisha Burnes, Carrie 
Moyer, Eileen Myles, Ulrike Mueller, Suzy Liar, Tammy Rae Carland, K8 
Hardy and many others.  We have limited copies available of each of the 
three issues.  http://www.lttr.org/
