You'd think the purpose of a literary magazine would be to find the best, most 'publishable' pieces of fiction and poetry to share with the world, but The Incongruous Quarterly finds value in the 'unpublishable.' This online literary mag, just launched in July 2010, aims to promote anything that's "too long or too short, too weird, too conventional, ahead of (or behind) the times, genreless, plotless, subjectless, easily pigeonholed or impossible to define."
With pieces by Helen Dewitt ("Chart 2008"), Michael Hingston ("Comic Sans"), and Cole Robertson ("Hangover") in categories of fiction, poetry, and 'Kill Fee,' a section in which writers get to see the writing that a magazine or newspaper was going to run but did not, there's a lot to chew on. If it's unorthodox, weird, and highly entertaining, it'll be in The Incongruous Quarterly. Check it out CLICK HERE!
