Our mission, after five
years is still very hard to pin down. We represent neither a group of writers
nor one mode of writing. We enjoy innovative works of literature
in what ever format that it chooses to find itself. We wish to promote new style,
emerging voices and provide an outlet for these artists to express their artistic
visions. This sounds good, and in turn we will try to live up to these standards
and will do whatever is humanly possible. Please forgive us in advance for our
flaws.
We have chosen Ezra Pound as our Editor-in-Chief and it is by his methods we
strive to keep things new. It is our century and we look to this, as Creeley
once noted, what else is one to do, make it old? So we are here and
after five years we have seen many journals come and go, blogs come up from
groundbreaking listservs, good friends die and good friends experience births
… war, injustice and seemingly limitless stupidity come
into power. We have seen many things, good and bad, and I am sure things will
get worse before they get better. Our poetic voices are irrelevant in today’s
political arena. So with that, we shall practice our poetry in the time that
we have. Even through the darkest of times, the best minds blaze forward!
