Beatdom Turns 10

This month, Beatdom Literary Journal celebrates its tenth anniversary. Since our founding in May, 2007, we have released seventeen issues of the journal and Beatdom Books – our publishing branch – has published a dozen books. 

Over the past ten years, a huge number of talented people have helped make Beatdom into what it is today. I am eternally grateful to all of those who have contributed to our success.  One of those people is Waylon Bacon, who done lots of artwork for us. He’s put together a special poster to celebrate our anniversary:

This month we will also release our eighteen issue, and two days ago we announced the release of Beatdom Books’ twelfth publication, John Tytell’s Beat Transnationalism.
