Submission

Articles of submission depend on many criteria, but overall items submitted must conform to one ethereal trait, your work must not suck. This put plainly, bad art should be punished; we will not promote it. However, all submissions will be reviewed and the author will receive feedback. We are human too. Please send your work.

A NOTE TO YOU

Our legal statement is presented here.

Please defend our right to publish! Our purpose is to promote voice damn it and that is all. We would prefer to not waste breath in a damn courtroom. This way our damn lawyers don't have to use up any of their damn retainers and we can all sit back and enjoy language -- not fear it, but rather serve it wine:

we are not a machine

thank you, ezra
ezra pound, editor-in-chief
