The Momentist

About

The Momentist is an online literary and arts magazine publishing translated and original-language fiction, poetry, interviews, literary and art criticism, and featuring artworks by established and emerging artists. Our title comes from a suggestion put forward by novelist and short story writer Harold Brodkey that
the reader in his or her life has more access to the real than the author does, which counters the author’s more practiced access to language. This is Momentism.
Rather than set out with a ready-made understanding of what this means, it’s my hope that over time an interpretation—or if we’re successful, a number of incompatible interpretations—will emerge in collaboration with our contributors, editors, and readers.
