Retirement of The Rooster Roast

THE ROOSTER ROAST was a blog project that lasted for two years. It set out to examine literature and cultural trends, as well as generate catalysts for short fiction and poetry. While “World Literature” is a field that ironically requires the anchor of one set national vantage, THE ROOSTER ROAST was a challenge to this premise, in an attempt to break the necessity of geopolitics in experiencing raw human culture.

This collection of writing is now available in print form, and the name now ceases to exist. It's concepts, as well as the series that it has set forth, continue on.

To “Think and crow” is the mission of THE ROOSTER ROAST, and I hope that some of these pieces inspire readers and prod them into generating their own written work that knows no borders.

After having been retired in May of 2011, The Rooster Roast is regarded as a success, and I am proud of much of the original intellectual and creative work that has gone into this body of work. It will inspire writers to both write in cyberspace, while not forgetting to also print in realspace. When imaginary space and actual space communicate together, a great deal of clarity may be reattained as we interact with others on a day to day basis. I think this may make us happier, writing and reading in this way.

Most sincerely,

The author
