I just published the first issue of my literary magazine in 10 years thanks to a grant I received. The magazine is for experimental writers and artists who perform their own work publicly, whatever that means to you. This issue was a specific regional issue. The full link to the actual magazine file is below. If you would like a hard copy, contact me and I will send the address. A hard copy is $3 ppd.

Poetry and related images by Fluffy Singler on t-shirts, pillows, stickers, and books.
Get yourself something for the holidays! Great quality t-shirts and other merchandise with Fluffy's poetry, art work, and photographs. Get a poem messenger bag (they're great! I have one!), or a Racing Day t-shirt. $3 goes directly to Fluffy and the rest goes to Cafe Press, a really great company! The Devil may wear Prada, but the hipsters wear Fluffy!

I. I am tired of being sad. Tired of being mad. Tired of being fearful, afraid of the phone, afraid of conflict, afraid to talk to anyone because they might recriminate me—is that the right word? T…
One more thing I published in The Edge.
She was angry at the world on her mother’s behalf. That is to say, I was, if you believe in all this post-modern tooth fairy stuff about the speaker and the subject being the same person and the us…
Here is the latest entry in the WIU student paper, The Edge.
Karawane: Or the Temporary Death of the Bruitist
Karawane has received a $1500 grant from Quad City Arts. This means that we will be able to publish and employ people from the Quad Cities to work on the journal. $300 will go to buying a print cartridge and some will be going to artists and readers. Some of it will also go to a salary for me so that I can afford to take time off and work on the magazine.
If we can raise an additional $1000-$1500, then we will be able to pay people more, we will be able to have a paid intern to work on the website, AND we will be able to either make it a half/half journal, publishing local poets alongside national ones, OR we will be able to publish a second issue of the journal each year with minimal additional cost.
The additional money we would need to publish poets from around the country will be 100% salaries - paying readers and paying artists/writers.
What is Karawane?
Karawane: Or, the Temporary Death of the Bruitist is a literary journal devoted to experimental writers and artists who perform their own work -- at open mics, cabarets, public readings, theatres, fringe festivals, etc.
We are seeking money to basically hire and pay people. Artists deserve to make money for their labor -- whether it is as writers, as readers selecting work, or as interns working on the magazine and its web presences.
We have also applied for a grant from Quad City Arts that will help us publish and pay for supplies. Our only supplies right now are a print cartridge so we can run off copies of the magazine (because let's face it, writers like to have a hard copy in their hands to show friends, family, teachers, libraries, the postman, etc.) and money for postage to send out copies.
We have been around for about 10 years in Minneapolis-St. Paul and now I have moved to take a teaching job in the Iowa - Illinois Quad Cities. I am at a breathing point at last where I can restart the journal and breathe new life into it. The grant through Quad City Arts, that will enable us to publish local people, but I would like to continue with the international focus, either through a second issue each year or through designated pages for local vs. international authors.
We have 31 days left on our campaign. This Friday, celebrate YOUR payday by giving artists a payday for their work!
Please help us with crowdfunding by passing this along
Please pass this along to anyone interested in the arts who might be inclined to donate! Crowdfunding works by word of mouth!

Pearce: Would have been nice to have this a few weeks ago!
That is really my only thought as I read this -- it would have been great to have this as the starting conversation.and maybe then gone to Esslin. I think this would have been a good framework to discuss how narrative was working within the games. It all seems pretty straightforward, so i don’t really know what to say about it. I liked the comparison about movie-game vs, game-movie transitions and why the movie-game works better. I was also amused by her fascination with Harrison Ford as a video game hero/character!
Then I started thinking about having a video game based on The Hours or some other movie inspired by literature. I mean, they now have Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson action figures! Those games could be combined with something like The Sims. You could create a world full of dead authors, for example, or the world of Wuthering Heights. I don’t think they have to be action/adventure games at all. WWJD -- What Would Jane (Austen) Do?
Hacker Manifesto
Sorry, but all this stuff that Ensslin is talking about is right up my alley and so I just feel like I want to share as much as I can! She talks about literary gamers coming from the same tradition often as Hackers. I give this to my comp students every semester when we write manifestos. Enjoy.
The Hacker Manifesto
by +++The Mentor+++ Written January 8, 1986
Another one got caught today, it's all over the papers. "Teenager Arrested in Computer Crime Scandal", "Hacker Arrested after Bank Tampering"... Damn kids. They're all alike. But did you, in your three-piece psychology and 1950's technobrain, ever take a look behind the eyes of the hacker? Did you ever wonder what made him tick, what forces shaped him, what may have molded him? I am a hacker, enter my world... Mine is a world that begins with school... I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me... Damn underachiever. They're all alike. I'm in junior high or high school. I've listened to teachers explain for the fifteenth time how to reduce a fraction. I understand it. "No, Ms. Smith, I didn't show my work. I did it in my head..." Damn kid. Probably copied it. They're all alike. I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me.. Or thinks I'm a smart ass.. Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here... Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike. And then it happened... a door opened to a world... rushing through the phone line like heroin through an addict's veins, an electronic pulse is sent out, a refuge from the day-to-day incompetencies is sought... a board is found. "This is it... this is where I belong..." I know everyone here... even if I've never met them, never talked to them, may never hear from them again... I know you all... Damn kid. Tying up the phone line again. They're all alike... You bet your ass we're all alike... we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. The few that had something to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert. This is our world now... the world of the electron and the switch, the beauty of the baud. We make use of a service already existing without paying for what could be dirt-cheap if it wasn't run by profiteering gluttons, and you call us criminals. We explore... and you call us criminals. We seek after knowledge... and you call us criminals. We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias... and you call us criminals. You build atomic bombs, you wage wars, you murder, cheat, and lie to us and try to make us believe it's for our own good, yet we're the criminals. Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto. You may stop this individual, but you can't stop us all... after all, we're all alike.
This is a detouned film from the early 1970s, Can Dialectics Break Bricks. It is an Asian martial arts film with Marxist dialogue added to it in French and then English subtitles. (I have a copy of anyone wants to have a movie night.) This kind of work by the Situationists is MUCH more interesting than Christos covering the tress in Central Park with white plastic and predates Christos by about 20 years.
PS -- This would make an awesome game!
