Greetings Readers!

There are several exciting developments at IDIOM.

First, we are emeritus-ing our faithful and fearless books editor, Jessica Loudis, who has taken a position as Assistant Editor at Bookforum. Loudis has been a stalwart ally and rare friend, and we wish her the very best at her fancy new digs.

Second, we have three new editors to introduce!

Alyssa Reeder (Arts) was born and raised in California. She moved east to attend The New School of Liberal Arts, and is now a contributing writer and editor for The New York Times, Whoa Magazine and other publications in New York City.

Morten Høi Jensen (Books) was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. He is a freelance book critic and translator, and has written for Bookforum, The Quarterly Conversation and Open Letters Monthly. He is a founding editor of UgarteMagazine.

Tom McCormack (Film and Electronic Art) is a critic living in Brooklyn. His work has appeared in Cinema Scope, Film Comment, Moving Image Source, Rhizome, The L Magazine, and other publications. He is also an editor at Alt Screen.

We are thrilled to have these three wildly talented editors on board, and can’t wait to introduce you to them in person.

Also be sure to read the IDIOM essays reprinted in the summer issue of the Jacobin, available at discerning newsstands and online.

Lastly, IDIOM will be on semi-hiatus through the month of August. We will be re-running some essays previously published, along with new material, and will resume producing all-new words come September. In the meantime, please plan on joining us for a party in mid-August.

Thanks so much for reading. And we hope to see you soon.

Stephen Squibb, Barry Hoggard, and James Wagner for IDIOM
