We have the new writing. We have the books. We want you to have the books, to have our back issues and the current issue of the magazine. These indelibly printed sure-bound pages are fine for anyone to hold, pile, to shelve, dog-ear, note-take, to doodle in, read, to re-read, share by voice, squint at, be a part of home, mind, a community of languages. We like our books. Need a recommendation? Email us, call, or ask.
Who are we? We are readers and writers who love the materializations for transit from one mind to another of words among peoples. We love the beauties, struggles, and explorations of sense and senses words together precipitate unpredictably, queerly, like moss, mold, mollusk, mushroom, mummer, monkey, membrane, all uncanny life that was nowhere or everywhere first before itself.
