Reviews:
New Jersey Stage magazine:
"Sometimes it's by focusing on the tiniest subjects that we can discover something new about our humanity. It's the peculiarity of this obsession that draws us in, not expecting much or knowing what we'll find. But as we fall in love with The Palindromists, we align with their spark and this creativity that blossoms in such an unusual form."
C. J. Hirschfield, Eat Drink Films:
"...the film refreshingly celebrates nice, smart people who are obsessed with words, instead of money. 'Some people think you're a genius, some people think you're just weird,' is how one of the featured palindromists explains it. Speaking of weird, prominently featured in the film is 'Weird Al' Yankovic, whose palindromic parody of Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues is worth the price of admission."
New: the SymmyS Awards
The SymmyS are the annual "Oscars" of palindromy, the awards for the best new palindromes in four categories -- long, short, poems, and visual (which are usually cartoons with a palindrome as a caption.) Nasty Palindromes are always welcome and cherished in fact; they're not officially part of the competition, but we share the best of those as well. The SymmyS were announced -- as always -- on Palindrome Day, which in the U.S. is 1/20/2021 this year (January 20th.) You can read all about them at BeyondWordplay. There's a nice article at Mental Floss, too.
The Palindromist in the news
WDEV radio in Montpelier, Vermont featured Palindromist editor Mark Saltveit again on February 8th, 2021. Seven Days Vermont, which is sort of an alternative weekly for the entire state, has a cool article on the magazine's move to Vermont.
