"Someone put forth the notion recently that the beautiful will almost never be
able to convey the real. thank god this is not a beautiful poem. but it sings
anyway, and like a hungry coyote, it knows how to yelp its head off."

What we like:
Distilled writing and visual art that gets to the point
without just painting a pretty picture.
Improvisation, innovation,
quirky-ness, non-linear thinking, raw, brave, real, crazy mother flippin'
stuff if you have it, send it!
There is no shortage of really nice poems out there. We do not want "nice."
We want to feel a physical reaction to your work.
Nausea. Embarassment.
Arousal. Something.
I have a personal fondness for erotic poetry (edgy, evocative, visceral, nothing overly sentimental or
sweet) and shorties poetry, but bottom line, we want
innovative, quality work.
