"We learned in elementary school that a verb is an action word. Now we know it is also a redefinition of how readers and writers connect. Verb is the most innovative change to hit the literary landscape since Bob Dylan picked up a guitar and turned rock into poetry. Verb is hip. Verb is smart. Verb, my friends, is where it's at."
—Connie May Fowler, author of The Problem with Murmur Lee and Before Women Had Wings
"Verb is an idea whose time has come, an audioquarterly that features prizewinning writers like Tom Franklin and Robert Olen Butler reading their own work, musicians as good as Peter Case, and poetry too. Verb has everything but an aural centerfold."
—William Gay, author of I Hate to See That Evening Sun Go Down and The Long Home
Verb is the ancient oral tradition and the venerable literary magazine combined into a fresh new package: the audioquarterly. The best writers in the country reading their own work—new stories and poems you won’t find anywhere else—and an innovative format with an eye-catching design all come together in this exciting quarterly series.
