". . . I like my magazines HOT and Spinning Jenny is the HOTTEST magazine I've read in quite some time. There is nothing about this truly unique journal that is vaguely normal or staid; each issue presents a challenge with the most basic of clues, hints to work with. It is our task as readers to rise to the occasion. Spinning Jenny, I accept the challenge. The check is in the mail."
—Alan Catlin, Literary Magazine Review

Ashley McWater’s poem, “Defending,” sums up Spinning Jenny’s editorial vision: imagination as destruction in the sense of destroying expectations, shattering tired patterns, un-doing traditional formulas, un-making the routine and predictable, and creating something new.
—Sima Rabinowitz, NewPages.com

This issue of Spinning Jenny is thick with poems that regularly make syntax irregular. . . . A lack of contributor’s notes also gives Black Dress Press’s journal a black sheep feel, among a flock of literary journals. . . . I applaud Spinning Jenny for its whimsy and risk, for once again giving a variety of voices an arena in which to make loud their voices.
