« The stylish semicolon | Main | Gore rides the tide » Sunday, April 1, 2007Red Cross litmagI'm not sure if this has anything to do with the recent Dave Eggers/Samantha Power event in Cambridge, sponsored by the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard, but it seems that the Red Cross is launching a literary magazine. According to a press release posted at the Pazzo Books website, the Red Cross is launching a journal titled Una (the title refers to the wife of The Red Cross Knight in Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queen"; also to a river in the western area of Bosnia and Herzegovina, "an area of great beauty and of great sorrow").  The "Una" window at the American Red Cross MuseumSays executive director Frank Milkers: Our magazine will be focused on the art of the horrific and the horrors of art. As the real and the imaginary collide in today's complex world, we wanted to take this opportunity to sell our vision of the world to the American consumer. Who is better equipped to save literature from certain doom than the Red Cross? Who indeed? Posted by Joshua Glenn at 11:17 AM
