"[The imagination] is the irrepressible revolutionist." A purely totalitarian government can never come into being because our collective imagining of a better way will always peak out. As long as we have our imagination, we can never be conquered. In that spirit, please read the poems and stories in this issue as if they were intentionally revolutionary. The imagination is what ultimately always overturns the old way and brings about a new way, which gets recycled back into the old way, but slightly different. The contents of this issue are quite diverse, which we are immensly proud of. We've got contributors from four different countries, young and old, professors and students, veterans and new comers. Subjects range from religious to erotic; style ranges from real to surreal. We've always liked mixing things up and as the old and oft repeated cliche goes, "variety is the spice of sentient pumpkins that walk without feet as you spin around in circles until the dew drop bounces off the brim of your hat and richochetes within a spacious neandrathal cranium until it's shiny and clean floating above bat wings newly discovered inside spider webs where credit cards joust while riding osteriches." It's nearly three in the morning, I sleep now. dm Back to Megaera 5 |
