I’ll be back in cyberland next Thursday. Traveling back to the States & it’ll take us a while. Before I go, here’s the new issue of the City zine:
New issue of the City! NO WAY HOME, DIRECTION UNKNOWN
Issue 20 Fall 2007
The City Poetry Zine is characterized by a kind of patchouli cheer/despair or sci-fi gestalt or fairy tale radiance. It showcases poetry, prose, reviews, interviews, photography and art.

We swim like fish in a culture of space and time
where the surface of things
more threatening than the patient gaze of egg timers
bore holes into the unguarded pens of fiction writers.

“I think you said that Burning Man changed your life.â€
I would describe it as the first time I felt what a community actually felt like. Everyone talks about community but that was the first time I actually experienced it. It felt really fucking good, really natural.
