“ So packed with lushly designed poetry, fiction, and essays is Ninth Letter, the biannual literary magazine published by the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, readers flipping through its two-hundred-plus pages could be excused for asking, “How would I even know if something in here was an error?” […] A couple of mistakes, however, did come to light after the issue went to press. Most notably, Travis Kurowski’s essay “Basquiat and Six Uses of Space,” which was painted Basquiat-style on mounted panels and then photographed, was published with two pages of text missing. Instead of just offering the corrected essay on its Web site (which editor Jodee Stanley did as well), Kurowski’s work was reprinted in its entirety as a chapbook—a chapbook that is, it’s worth noting, much easier to carry around and read than a fat catalogue of a literary magazine—and mailed to subscribers in early March. With a corrections policy as generous as this one, more contributors may start hoping for slipups of their own.
