Rivet was recently highlighted in Utne’s From the Stacks online column. Read on for a friendly review of our publication.
When Rivet landed in our library, I chuckled at its name, wondering if it meant the little metal fasteners or the entrancing verb. I picked it up and immediately realized it was the latter. The Seattle quarterly, which has grown from zine to magazine status in the last couple of years, introduces new nonfiction, fiction, poetry, photography, and graphic art in fabulous, bright ways. The latest edition, dubbed the Action Issue, contains articles such as “The Ten List,” which lists ten quirky action facts (”Hamsters can have sex up to 75 times a day”), and “Gridlock City’s Caped Commuter,” in which Kathryn Lebo describes the city’s real-life commuting superhero. The pieces kept a smile on my face and the pages turning. — Jenna Fisher
