Issue 26
“A third way to die” — Gareth Branwyn, More Dreams Than Sleep
The spectrum of “other-worldly” runs infinite. This is just one corner of it. Call it a time slip or a literary mandala. Each contributor is a poet, and an artist, with a spirit beyond the mundane.
Inside this issue are poems about the grotesque nightmare of being, damaged consciousness that haunts (which is a definition for most ghosts), and a few poems about heartbreak.
Love is the only thing that will save us in the end. Some wield it like a machete. Others distort it until it’s unrecognizable. Some of us are orphans or forgotten or aliens birthed without the programming for love.
How can I create a transference of love? This magazine is one way. Anything that scares you. Everything that is unknown. That is what I love about everyone.
