GOLD DUST

Gold Dust is an online and printed magazine that offers literary work, or purports to. It has a readership of approximately 5000. Its presentation values are very high although I've seen the web setup it employs elsewhere. It has the advantage of having different editors, for example, one for poetry and another for short stories.

Both poetry and short story sections are good, but conventional in tone. None of the published pieces would create a wave in the general literary world as they lack adventure. Summing up: good, efficient work but not brilliant. The poems appear to be chosen for wordiness and ubiquitous pronouncements. Still, well worth a buy.
