SPORE 2.1, Ekphrastic Writing, Still Looking for Submissions

Now evening out after the first frenetic days of the new school year (believe it or not, I love 'em, growing first impressions, perfect plans, energies without horizons, learning fires burning -- just about everything's possible, no minds left behind ((except those residing in political offices, rearing empty heads from elected orifices, Oh Dante!))), I continue to get as much of SPORE 2.1 in place as I can.

It's still got lots of holes still. It's still got lots of room still!

I'll continue to read writing in response to paintings, sculpture, photography, performance -- lit in response to art... I'll read until Thanksgiving. I hope to get this issue out by the end of the year.

I'm especially looking for commentary about ekphrastic writing, its openings, its limitations, exemplary works previously published... Please query.

Hey Hill, I don't know if I am anywhere near what you are looking for, but I am interested in maybe submitting something for your magazine. I'll be by the school again sometime soon (hopefully), but maybe you could e-mail me about it. Either way, I'll talk to you again sometime soon.

‘SIGN’ is a collection of my MALAYALAM poems .Everything I saw ,heard and read have influenced my writings .They are all in these writings .E.M.S, MADHAVIKUTTY , MARQUIS , M.KRISHNAN NAIR, M.MUKUNDAN ,M.T…..their imprints are writ large in our words ,reading habits and style of writings .My world of those reading is full of luminaries . ‘SIGN ‘is simply my response to social realities as reflected in my mind . Beside the pseudo moralities , hypocracy ,and worn out beliefs ,if you discern in ‘SIGN’ sweet and sour of realities ,it is but natural .I prefer no ‘catwalk’ ,but want to be different and away from the crowd .Welcome to agreements and disagreements alike . ‘SIGN’ is dedicated to MOTHERS and CHILDREN rendered orphans by WARS. To "MADHAVIKUTTY" too whom I love the most .
