Welcome to The Foundry —
the official Website of author Jonathan
Lyons!
The Foundry's previous incarnation was as
a small Web design & development house in Austin, TX, and
Bombay, India (for the year we spent living there); before that
it was the name of my industrial music show on KRUI in Iowa City.
Now it's back to the forge, repurposed as my author site.
I currently teach as adjunct faculty at Bucknell
University and at Susquehanna University.
Some of my writing is online,
free of charge, at the SOMA Literary review. My short stories, "The
Siren" and "Joy," were
picked up by that publication. Interestingly, an editor at the
international publication The Taj Mahal Literary Review contacted
me out-of-the-blue about "The Siren," and that story wound up
being published in that journal. Lyons:
Big In India!
My second novel, Machina,
has receivedsome amazing reviews, and it's managed to bewilder
a few, as well. It's available
at B&N and Amazon.
I've posted readings of two essays and an interview with cEvin Key, of Skinny
Puppy (my heroes), at music.download.com.
- The
Pushcart Press Editors Book Award: My experimental/ literary/
music-infused novel manuscript, Signal to Noise, has
been nominated for the award. (Unfortunately, a note from the
award's editor, Bill Henderson, tells me that the award won't
be given this year.)
- Hotel Amerika, the distinguished literary journal of Columbia College, has accepted my experimental short, "the reflecting pool," for their Transgenre issue, Vol. 8, Issue 1.
- Rampike,
the literary journal of the University of Windsor, just published
my experimental/nonlinear/iterative short, "the gravity of the moment"!
Rampike has published works from William S. Burroughs, Jacques
Derrida, Umberto Eco, Julia Kristeva, Kathy Acker, and David
Foster Wallace!
- Gargoyle
Magazine published my experimental/literary
short story "Dashiell" in issue
#83, on bookstore shelves now.
- Phoebe,
A Journal of Art & Literature, just
published my rather long short story, "The Good Life."
- Exquisite
Corpse, Andrei Codrescu's "Journal of Life and letters," picked
up my essay, "Graveyarders," for issue #14. Instant hip-lit
street cred!
