I am looking for literary magazines that specialize in short short pieces, prose and poetry.

Online or in print--something like Short, Fast, and Deadly. When I say "short" I mean under 150 words kind of short. Kinda more interested in poetry than fiction, especially work that doesn't follow a form like haiku, but I am open minded to all suggestions.

Response by poster: Thanks, ShooBoo, but I found duotrope hard to search for this specific requirement.

You're looking for the term flash fiction.

I'm slowly acquiring everything I can from the kids who attend the 826LA writing workshop. Here's the books they have online. The kids tend to write super short pieces, that are all over the place in terms of quality but pretty consistently heavy on charm. They're well constructed little books, too.

I also have a fairly rad textbook from college called Sudden Fiction: American Short-Short Stories. Looks like there's a second collection as well.
