The Rusty Nail

\"The Rusty Nail\" is a literary magazine whose goal is to join the growing community of Internet-based English types who not only love literature and the written word, but are enamored with the future of both. We believe that the Internet has given authors and poets the opportunity to share and get recognition for their work without having to sell their soul to “The Man.” This preserves artistic dignity and lets the reader see the writer’s thoughts and soul without the often numbing influence of industry “professionals.” This is the first print issue published by \"The Rusty Nail.\" Visit the website for more great writing and to find out how you can submit your own work! In this Issue: Alice Slater, linda m. crate, Sonnet Mondal, Christina Murphy, Kim Johnson, Steve Klepetar, Kyle Owens, William Doreski, David Groulx, Ralph Warth, Suzanne Feathers, Nicholas Johnston, Sergio Ortiz, Lylanne Musselman, Gary Ives, Eric Boyd, Kyle Hemmings, Beau Boudreaux, Bruce J. Berger, and Tracy E. Hauser.
