Oprah Winfrey is arguably the most important influence on reading and
literacy in the past fifty years. She devotes considerable time on her
talk show to reading and talking about books, and every book she asks
her TV audience to read immediately becomes a bestseller. Furthermore,
Oprah's book club continues an ongoing literary debate in America. Its
middle-class women's readership provokes critical anxiety about the
state of American letters, and the ability of a commercialized American
culture to sustain artistic production, that has been a recurring theme
in American cultural debates since at least Van Wyck Brooks' "America's
Coming of Age." Given Oprah's importance in this long-standing culture

Big Tex[t], a new biannual on-line journal, is seeking submissions of
* Literary Criticism
* Poetry
* Fiction
* Creative Nonfiction
* Visual Art
* Audio/Spoken Word
While Big Tex[t] is not a regional publication, our editorial stance is
derived from our connection to the cultural and geographic shatterbelt
of Texas- the complex mingling of ethnicities, cultures, and
environments that we observe each day. Sixty-some years ago, folklorist
J. Frank Dobie looked forward to a day when the mesquite tree had as
much poetic resonance as the English yew. At Big Tex[t] we celebrate not
just the humble Texas mesquite, but all landscapes, all poetics. We
