announcing the new online journal frankmatter

Over at frankmatter, we've started a new online journal intended to satisfy an unappeasable longing for more variety, the unexpected, and the less polished, among lots of other things; it aims to broaden your gaze, furrow your brow, arch your eyebrow, and put a stutter in your step. Head on over, and we hope you enjoy it!
