"Segunda Pascua" photo by J.D. Wang, editor of Juked online literary magazine. 7-8-10, Barcelona, Spain. http://www.juked.com/moments/It took me quite a while to find a really great online literary journal. After a lot of browsing, I finally came across Juked. The nice layout of the website attracted me initially. The gray background, contrasted with a nice looking index overlaying an angled shot of a building, really looks professional.
One of the best features about this journal is that it’s free. They take donations and somehow, through luck or some other feat, have managed to stay alive and running. Their stories and poems are fantastic. I clicked on a few random ones in the archive section and was quite impressed.
My favorite part has to be, however, the “moments” link. The main editor, J.W. Wang, has put together a collection of stunning and artistic photographs from places like Barcelona, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Ise Sanjou, Japan. For anyone looking for a really cool online journal that stands out from the crowd, Juked is worth it. The only thing about it that was inconvenient was the “comments” link at the bottom of each piece of writing. It took me to Microsoft Entourage, which I do not use. It would be easier if there were just an e-mail address that I could send my thoughts to. That is a minor point, though.
