Monkeybicycle.net is the punchy literary magazine edited by Steven Seighman and Eric Spitznagel. The mag publishes writers like Tao Lin and Ryan Boudinot, and the piece on the site’s main page, “Wish” by Mike Valente, is representative of Monkeybicycle’s aesthetic. “Wish” is a jittery spoonful of surrealism that lives at the corner of poetry and prose, and it’s surely unsure which it wants to be. Which is its charm, of course. Forget staying in scene, “Wish” is about a kind of leaping from fragment to fragment, electricity jumping from cloud to cloud.
