If you want a button you should go to our donation page and donate $5.  We will send you a button that we made with our handy new button maker.  Rabbit Catastrophe Press depends on people like you to be able to afford to continue publishing all this great work.  Also, don't forget that we still have a few copies of Issue #1 and Gem City/Fountain City and Issue #2 just came out.  Thanks for the support everyone!

Open for Submissions

We are reading again!  Issue #3 reading periods are from now until December first.  Please read our guidelines here and don't forget to track your submissions on Duotrope.  We look forward to reading all of the new work.  If you are interested in seeing what we have published in the past you can still get copies of our first two issues and of Gem City/Fountain City by Phil Estes just to the right by the clicking "Buy Now" button under each picture.

The Writer's Block Festival

Join us in Louisville, Kentucky on October 14th and 15th for The Writer's Block Festival.  We will have a table in Creation Gardens surrounded by some other fantastic presses small and big.  So far we have heard that Accents Publishing and Sarabande Books will be there.  More information can be found on the InKy Website.  We will keep everyone posted as the date gets closer, but save the date because it is going to be a fantastic event.

Issue #2 Is Now Available

Rabbit Catastrophe Issue #2 is done... which is to say that we pile drived your snap dragon.  Special thanks to all of our contributors and to those who donated.  This issue's work spans all of time from Andrea Spofford's period piece set in the 19th century American west, to Andrew Terhune's poem that will tell your future, although you'll wish you hadn't asked.  The range of emotional topics is far reaching as well.  There are father/son relationships in Lewis DeJong's piece, a sad mother/child relationship told from the point of view of a T-Rex in Steven Barrie's work, and some love poems from an emotionless robot named RACTER.  Cover art by Tao Lin and some great design work in the interior by new RCR editor Kris Ange.  Many more strange and beautiful stories and poems are within.  Here is a complete list of our contributors:

Everyone Say Hi to Kris

Kris Ange is the new Art/Design Editor for Rabbit Catastrophe Press.   Here is a short interview.
 

RCR: Who, what , where, when, how?

Kris Ange: Kris Ange, student/designer/dishwasher extraordinaire, Lexington, Ky, well, right now it’s 1:23 AM, by the beard of Zeus.

RCR: How did you get involved with rcr?

KA: Hilarity Wednesday at Sidebar.  Greg and I were introduced through a mutual friend, and the only night we ever drank together was always Wednesday.  I think it was the third time we went out, he brought along issue #1.  I was blown away by it. The art, the poetry, even the way it felt in my hands.  After some time, I was complaining about needing an internship to graduate, and he mentioned that he could help me out. 

RCR: What is your favorite pie?

KA: Strawberry Rhubarb.  Hands down.  I can eat an entire pie in one sitting.  Not even kidding.

RCR: What do you want to be when you grow up?

KA: I want to be in some ad agency, doing some huge national campaign.  I’d like to have something I’m even the smallest part of to be seen by a million people.  I don’t even care if they know I did anything.  I just love the whole holy-crap-that’s-that-thing-I-did feeling.  I think that’d be pretty rad on that sort of scale.

RCR: How do you feel about not getting paid for what we make you do?

KA: Whoa, whoa, whoa.  I know I’ve gotten like 6 beers already.  If I could get paid in beers for everything I did, I’d be the happiest man alive.  So I firmly stand behind not getting paid monies.

RCR: What makes you happy?

KA: Coming home to my cat yelling at me, being lazy all day with my lady, cooking a meal and finishing it all at the same time, and not going to work.

Kris recently designed all of the logos for Rabbit Catastrophe Review and Rabbit Catastrophe Press. His title page designs will appear in RCR #2 and he will be editing all of the art for upcoming issues and chapbooks.
