''Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts'' is a literary magazine from Houston, Texas. Founded in 1986 by Donald Barthelme and Phillip Lopate, ''Gulf Coast'' was envisioned as an intersection between the literary and visual arts communities. As a result, ''Gulf Coast'' has partnered with the University of Houston's Creative Writing Program, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Menil Collection to showcase some of the most important literary and artistic talents in the United States. Faculty editors past and present include Mark Doty (1999–2005), Claudia Rankine, (2006) and Nick Flynn (2007–present). The magazine publishes poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. In 2007, Heather McHugh chose David Shumate's ''Drawing Jesus'', which first appeared in'' Gulf Coast'', for ''The Best American Poetry 2007'', and Stephen King listed Peter Bognanni's ''The Body Eternal'' and Sandra Novack's ''Memphis'', again premiering in ''Gulf Coast'', among the 100 Distinguished Stories in ''The Best American Short Stories 2007''. ''Gulf Coast'' featured artists Robyn O'Neil and Amy Blakemore〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Whitney Biennial 2006: Day for Night )〕 have been featured in the Whitney Biennial. ==History== The magazine was originally named ''Domestic Crude'' (1983–1985), a name that nodded to the major industry of the Houston area. It was a 64-page (magazine-formatted) student-run publication, with editorial advising coming from Lopate, who also contributed work to the first issues. In 1986, the name ''Gulf Coast: A Journal of Literature and Fine Arts'' was adopted. After some experimenting, the magazine found its dimensions and, eventually, its audience. The print magazine comes out each April and October. ''Gulf Coast'' is still student-run. The magazine seeks to promote and publish quality literature in our local and national communities while simultaneously teaching excellence in literary publishing to graduate and undergraduate students. Being committed to providing a variety of literary approaches and voices, all of the editorial positions are two-year terms, thus ensuring a regular turnover in the specific personality and style of the magazine. In addition to literature, ''Gulf Coast'' explores the visual arts. Each issue features two artists, along with short essays on the work from the art editor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gulf Coast (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
