We always send it to the wrong address
And now that buoys even our most impersonal days. Everyone is beautiful!
And then almost everyone. C’est cool-ça, the shift that enchants the world
Or at least the afternoon of the world before it’s off
To meet Chris and all at glimmering Colleen’s
Arriving southside early and so twenty min for Lyn’s [...]

Emma Straub’s Fly-Over State
September 24, 2009 – 9:36 am
The lovely Emma Straub’s first stand alone book, Fly-Over State is available at Flatmancrooked for $6. The copies are hand-numbered in an edition of 400. If you don’t know Emma or her writing, she is the cat’s pajamas (almost literally) and I promise you will love her as much as I do.
The Fall of Sky Woman by Wu Ming
September 23, 2009 – 6:35 am
Long before the world was created, there was an island in the sky where dwelt a heavenly race. One day a pregnant woman fell through the hole of an uprooted tree and began to fall for what seemed like an endless amount of time. Leaving the darkness she saw the oceans below her. Everything was [...]
Like As If, Poetry by Bruce McRae

Is this the eye’s needle or the wind in a rag?
Is this a muslin hedgerow or a delinquent Roman numeral?
A cute little shillelagh, or is it kitty-kat porn?

A damaged kidney or a spectre sleeping in a lawnchair?
I’m not quite sure if this is angel-wire or banana-bread.
I can’t see if it’s [...]
The Etiquette of Creative Stalking by Monika
September 15, 2009 – 3:56 am
God bless you Lawrence and here it is. I hope I’ve got nothing wrong
I suppose some artists have loads of imagination but I never did, most of what I make comes from straight observation. A lot of this has taken the form of stalking people around me, I sort of follow and watch and record [...]
Oscar the Agnostic: Fiction by Jared Killeen
September 12, 2009 – 3:31 pm
Oscar Adnate finds himself on a beach. Hot yellow air around him, sky, the belting of gulls. A large pale shape moves across sand that is boundless and flat and immensely radiant.
He can feel the heat on his face, the long shriveled stalks of his legs. It is, undeniably, an oppressive sensation. The pale shape [...]
You and I Are More Alike Than I Once Supposed, Fiction by Anna Potter
September 9, 2009 – 12:34 am
My take on the founding fathers debacle is that you and I are more alike than I once supposed. We are both at this point in time somewhat stunned by life, but we know that even so, there are only two ways it can go. Both are pretty unspeakable, though one is definitely preferable, but [...]
