Also! Lawry created the seven-part WHITE STADIUM series, documenting the partial demolition of the White Stadium in Boston’s Franklin Park last winter.
From mid-January through mid-March we serialized Transhumance, a post-apocalyptic novelette by longtime HILOBROW friend and contributor Charlie Mitchell.
More CHARLIE MITCHELL at HILOBROW: “A FANTASY LAND” (2013) | “SENTINELS” (2019) | HAIKAI series (2023) | & more.
Inspired by the success of the MEDIA DIET series at our sister site SEMIOVOX, in March we launched a series exploring the media “input” of a group of people — HILOBROW’s friends and contributors — whose “output” we admire. Here’s a sampling of the 1Q2026 MEDIA DIET lineup:
ADRIENNE CREW on: the Thoth Tarot, Captain YAR, Ducktavious, Murderbot | MARK KINGWELL on: Sports clips, Weather, Indie Pop Rocks | ADAM McGOVERN on: Shazam discoveries, “The Firebird,” concentricity | LYNN PERIL on: weird old books, ’60s garage rock, live music | CARLO ROTELLA on: Chicago blues, baby-making slow jams, The Week | LUCY SANTE on: NYRB, early-’60s NYC jazz, Shadow Ticket| MIKE WATT on: Shannon Kim, Pynchon, The Kagero Diary.
HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn is editor of the RADIUM AGE series of reissued proto-sf adventures from the MIT Press. During 1Q2026, the following titles were published.

- Irene Clyde’s Beatrice the Sixteenth (March 31), introduced by Lucy Sante. “A gynarchic state, Armeria, where women marry each other and buy the babies on whom the future of Armeria depends… Readable and suggestive.” — The Occult Review (1909)
More exciting installments in this series, including anthologies and translations, are in the works. For the latest updates, keep an eye on this page.
