A Note About Some Poems that May Have Been Plagiarized
Like some of our literary magazine friends, Barrelhouse recently found out that in our online Gray Issue in 2022, we published some poems purported to be written by a person who has turned out to be a serial plagiarist.
Since we aren’t exactly sure whether the poems we published were plagiarized, but it is abundantly clear that this person has submitted and published plagiarized work in several other publications, we are pulling this work.
We should note that we weren’t exactly sure what to do here because we are not positive about the nature of the work we published, but when we saw the message from our friends at Split Lip Magazine, we knew that this was the right way to go. So thanks for leading the way SLM, we’re trying to not, you know, plagiarize by giving you a shout out here.
With that we’ll move on. Thanks to all you non-assholes who are doing this weird writing thing in the right way.
