About escarp
escarp is a selective, Twitter-based review of brief (140 chars or less) poetry and prose (including fiction and nonfiction).

Call it a Twitterature review: escarp currently publishes quality fiction, non-fiction and poetry as it comes in, but we won't publish more than one a day.

Our primary goal is to use new technologies to keep poems, stories and people in contact. We feel this "friction" is essential to fostering a new literary culture.

escarp is the first arm of a larger literature & art review, which will itself be a primary part of a larger literature & art project.

Down the road, other projects in the escarp family will offer a wider range of expression--and we'll reward those who help us along the way. But more on those later.
