The Brooklyn Rail is a political, artistic and literary magazine based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Coverage includes political and literary essays, art criticism, interviews, original fiction and poetry, and reviews.
Started as a broadsheet in 1998, the Rail became a full publication in 2000, under the direction of publisher Phong Bui and editor Theodore Hamm. Now a monthly journal, it covers arts and politics across New York City and around the world.
Articles have included interviews with Clare Short and James Longley on the Iraq war, Robert Scheer on presidents Richard Nixon through George W. Bush, and Wayne Barrett on Rudy Giuliani. Interviews on the arts have featured Michael Brenson, John Reed, David Levi-Strauss, Dore Ashton, Albert Maysles, Leo Steinberg, Elizabeth Murray, Richard Serra and Brice Marden.
The Rail commissioned a drawing by William Powhida called How the New Museum Committed Suicide with Banality for the cover of the November 2009 issue. The drawing featured caricatures of individuals involved in the controversial Skin Fruit exhibition at the New Museum, including Jeff Koons.[1]
