About
Big Wing Press is a small, independent publisher based in New York. Big Wing Review is published four times per year.
“Big Wing” was a WWII fighter plane tactic where individual planes flew in a formation of five. It was an idea before its time; this strategy was much praised but, in reality, was unsuccessful due to the unwieldy and difficult-to-maneuver individual planes. With proper curation, the Big Wing strategy could have been more successful - greater than its individual parts. Big Wing Review is a curated collection of work that succeeds on both the strength of the individual pieces and the whole volume.
“Big Wing” is also a nod to “Little Wing,” a delicately curated song by Jimi Hendrix that captures the dreamlike spirit of the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967. Big Wing Review aims to capture the simplicity and perfection of Little Wing moments - poems, prose, spoken word, and visual art - in a curated Big Wing formation.
