Here's a little book.
A zine. "An independently run poetry and prose anthology."
It's rather a nice object, and arrived in the post beautifully
sealed in brown paper and string, accompanied by a badge and a sticker
... or it may just be a piece of paper; I didn't check and it's in
the other room. (Edit: I've checked: it is a sticker.) This isn't
an academic essay; my research is casual to non-existent. It's also
not a review, either. I just wanted to put this out there as a nice
place to submit your flash fiction and poetry to. I submitted
something to this, the first issue of Party
In Your Eye-Socket; it didn't get in, but hey-ho,
never mind about that.
So,
if you're a poet, or like me prefer short stories, send them into
these guys in advance of issue two. And, you know, buy
issue one obviously. We're all in this together, trying to get
things in print so people can hold them and read them, so when a
couple of little guys get it together to make something, it helps to
part with a few quid for it. Not everything is free. It's an
anthology, so it's not all good (I don't want to name names but I
have read at least one terrible story in it), but it is good; good
variety, good design, a good little package. I enjoy using words
like good and nice;
much more powerful than constantly overusing words like genius
or awesome.
I'm
rambling. Being doing that a lot recently.
