History
In 2007, English professors Alexander Balogh and Michael Fetters undertook the mission to bring a world-class literary journal back to Lindenwood University. Working together, Balogh and Fetters created the journal Untamed Ink, with the goal of publishing the best literature from across the United States. In 2008, they celebrated its first issue with a release ceremony held in Sibley Chapel on the Lindenwood University campus in St. Charles, Missouri. The first issue features such well-known authors as Howard Schwartz and Michael Castro, as well as Hungarian poet Gabor Gyukics.
Mission Statement
Quality will be the ultimate guide, although quality is in the attentive ears and oft-bleary eyes of our own literary geeks. We revel in sound, language, words, images, text, phonemes, fonts, clarity, ambiguity, and white space. We abhor bombast, cliché, craft over substance, no craft at all, and unconstructive criticism. We do not take ourselves too seriously.
St. Louis has a vibrant literary scene, and there are many well-known poets and writers in the Midwest. We know each other and it would be too limiting and disrespectful to preclude publication of people we know.
