I don’t think Emily Dickinson actually ever read her poems in public. My point? Some poets/writers hate the limelight, and shouldn’t have to perform.

Two issues packed with vibrancy. So much to check out - I recommend Rupert Loydell in #8.

I am delighted to have 4 concrete poems in #9. My thanks to David A. Bishop.

Hard to listen to Radiohead anymore. The rhetoric of the songs doesn't match up with human reality at all.

Neolithic cave drawings were the first outsider art. And happily, some Philistine oligarch never had a chance to "bid" on them at Sotheby's.

If you are a mainstream genre writer of course you're in trouble. Predigested writing can be written by a computer now. No more Stephen Kings on the horizon I fear.

Music has become a fragmented art. Esp. Jazz and Rock. Look at the dizzying amount of subgenres. Lit/poetry is going the same way. We will all be working in cloistered monasteries sharing our work with like minds. But that's okay. Embrace it! There's more freedom to be had.
