A MODEST INTRODUCTION

The point of this magazine is to gather together disparities, poetry that is outside conformity but not necessarily repeating the polar opposition of mainstream/avant-garde and all the other over repeated war-cry binaries.

For this second manifestation, I have chosen to open the gates to the broad swathes of prose but alongside it, in ragamuffin companionship, poetry too assails the proprieties of wide open space. So that the reader is still presented with the vexatious questionable fragile presence of poetry in its unprotected self.

Here endeth (introit) the foreambling prose.
