A few quick links because this day is mov­ing faster than I anticipated.

eli­mae, pro­nounced el-ee-may, and stand­ing for elec­tronic lit­er­ary mag­a­zine, was founded by Deron Bau­man in 1996 and has pub­lished essays, fic­tion, inter­views, poetry and reviews. At the end of 2004, Bau­man departed to con­cen­trate on other respon­si­bil­i­ties, and the edi­tor­ship was assumed by Cooper Renner.

Hon­est to good­ness great work curated and edited monthly. Cooper cur­rently has his review of William Car­los Williams reis­sued book In the Amer­i­can Grain up:

Williams pub­lished this book of essays like­wise con­cerned with voice but rather more with his­tory than myth, though myth lurks always nearby in any exam­i­na­tion of national ori­gins. As one might expect from Williams’ poetry, which often stands con­trary to the lit­er­ary Mod­ernism of his peers, In the Amer­i­can Grainis a con­trar­ian look at early Amer­i­can his­tory, a “warts and all” approach which must have seemed espe­cially con­tentious in its time, when the United States was new to the cir­cle of world pow­ers and the ‘20s were roar­ing hap­pily along.

Coop also does fine work in poetry him­self and I hap­pen to have a copy of his lat­est on my bed stand.

And then there is designer Jonathan McNi­col who seri­al­izes books in the pub­lic domain and releases gor­geous  lay­outs in pdf for­mat. His cur­rent project is a riff off the web’s dar­ling meat­space project:

With the end of the sum­mer came the end of Infi­nite Sum­mer, but today marks the open­ing of a new iter­a­tion, Infi­nite Sum­mer: Drac­ula, and I’m happy to announce that I’ve signed on to pro­vide a hand­somely type­set, easy-to-read ver­sion of Stoker’s clas­sic text to sup­ple­ment the project.

Here is the lay­out of the first chap­ter of Drac­ula to whet you palate.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I blog with all of these gen­tle­man (Deron, Cooper, and Jonathan) on clus­ter­flock.
