“At the end of the semester, I often give away literary journals to my students–I want them to know about the range of choices and part of my job is to help show them this world. But I can’t give away Post Road! I have all the issues in my office and every semester I go over the stack to try to pick one to give up and I just can’t do it. Each issue is just packed with goodness and all I can do is show my copies to my students and then protectively snatch them back!” — Aimee Bender

Post Road Magazine – Email from JDC to Mike Rosovsky re the history of Post Road for Grub Street panel

2002

“I trumpet Post Road not out of kindness but out of the purely selfish pleasure I take in a frisky, alert, independent magazine whose words and images spring off the page and sometimes turn a somersault or two before they stick their landings in my brain. I also admire the magazine’s artistic promiscuity in embracing whatever’s good wherever it comes from however it works and whomever it’s by.” — Walter Kirn

2002

“The editors’ enthusiasm is palpable; they consistently provide a lively home for writing worth reading.” — Amy Hempel

2002

Post Road is the little magazine so many writers dream of when they start out, but have trouble finding when they grow up. It’s like those Paris-based publications that discovered Ezra Eliot or TS Pound or someone. But it’s not; it’s based here, it publishes fresh exciting talent, and it’s helping keep the indie lit scene alive in America.” — Darin Strauss

2002

Post Road, from its inception, has been an exotic and intelligent literary treat. I always like to see what they come up with each issue, and they never fail to surprise, entertain, and enlighten.” — Jonathan Ames

2002

“I always read Post Road with great enthusiasm. In its stealthy, unassuming way, it has become one of the most reliable and ambitious literary magazines in America.”– Rick Moody

2002

Post Road is one of the most interesting and exciting literary magazines out there. If you care about reading and writing, do yourself a favor and check it out.”–Tom Perrotta

2002

Post Road has the goods. I not only fall on them and read them like hot news when they come in the door, I keep them lined up on my shelf like little books, because that’s what they are.”– Jonathan Lethem

2002

Post Road maps the way to the freshest and funkiest literary territories. As the group The Postal Service does for music, Post Road fuses eclectic elements into something whole and wholly new.” – Elizabeth Searle

2002

“Magazines like Post Road are carrying more and more of the load when it comes to free thinking and dissent. And for that we all should be bottomlessly grateful. — Jim Shepard

2002

Post Road is a jewel in a bucket of stones.” — Barry Gifford

Correspondence – Ig Publishing re Bookmarked: The Great Gatsby by JDC (formerly What I Wanted to Be + American Kaleidoscope + Poor Man’s Gatsby)

2015

J. Robert Lennon blurb for World Gone Water: “This unsettling novel ponders human morality and sexuality, and the murky interplay between the two. Charlie Martens is a compelling antihero with a voice that can turn on a dime, from shrugging naiveté to chilling frankness. World Gone Water is a candid, often startling portrait of an unconventional life.”

Adrienne Miller blurb for World Gone Water: “Funny and surprising, World Gone Water is terrific fun to read and, as a spectacle of bad behavior, pretty terrifying to contemplate.”

2015

Tony D’Souza blurb for World Gone Water: “Jaime Clarke’s World Gone Water is so fresh and daring, a necessary book, a barbaric yawp that revels in its taboo: the sexual and emotional desires of today’s hetero young man. Clarke is a sure and sensitive writer, his lines are clean and carry us right to the tender heart of his lovelorn hero, Charlie Martens. This is the book Hemingway and Kerouac would want to read. It’s the sort of honesty in this climate that many of us aren’t brave enough to write.”

2015

Matt Bell blurb for World Gone Water: “Charlie Martens is my favorite kind of narrator, an obsessive yearner whose commitment to his worldview is so overwhelming that the distance between his words and the reader’s usual thinking gets clouded fast. World Gone Water will draw you in, make you complicit, and finally leave you both discomfited and thrilled.”

Amy Grace Loyd blurb for World Gone Water: “Charlie Martens will make you laugh. More, he’ll offend and shock you while making you laugh. Even trickier: he’ll somehow make you like him, root for him, despite yourself and despite him. This novel travels into the dark heart of male/female relations and yet there is tenderness, humanity, hope. Jaime Clarke rides what is a terribly fine line between hero and antihero. Read and be astounded.”
