LONG SHOT:
Long Shot made its debut in early 1982, but the idea and planning of the first issue took place in 1980. Cofounders Eliot Katz and Danny Shot were just out of college (Rutgers University) and saw the need for a raw, fresh, and thoroughly exuberant forum for writers who did not fit into the literary mold of the early 1980's. Shot was living in San Francisco and Katz had recently attended a summer session at Naropa Institute. They shared a desire to publish some of the young, exciting writers they had recently been reading and meeting. In addition, Shot remembers personally feeling a level of frustration from the lack of accessibility to literary magazines of the time: "I was just looking at another rejection slip from some magazine I desperately wanted to be published in when the thought came into my head - we can do it, and we can do it better," Shot recalls thinking. A short-lived but impressive literary journal out of Boulder called New Blood offered a model of how things might look--a perfect-bound literary magazine mixing younger writers with more well-known ones, and taking care to include a selection of local poets. The money for Long Shot Volume 1 came largely from the generosity of poet Allen Ginsberg, with whom Katz had studied at Naropa. To help Long Shot get off the ground, Allen came down to Rutgers to read with the two young poet-editors and donated half his usual reading fee to this new literary project. Production expenses were kept to a minimum. Katz got a job at a print shop, and along with a few sympathetic coworkers printed the first issue on a few small offset printing presses. The volume was typeset by members of the Rutgers school newspaper for the generous price of $8.00 an hour. Text and captions were cut out with exacto knives and pasted down. Katz and Shot collated the loose pages and brought the magazines to Brooklyn where they were bound. Long Shot #1 opens with a poem by Shot which begins "Drink liquor until your liver swells to the size of a football."
