ISSUE 2

ISSUE #2

Editors note:
#1 was really a mess (albeit a fascinating and incredibly promising, but it was all over the place). But it wasn't a bad thing. I thought it would be good to let Brave New Word to grow naturally for some time without pretending that i'm a good editor (because i'm not).

Some say that putting the sophomore issue is a harder task than doing the first one. It wasn't like that for me this time. The turnaround for #2 was just somewhere around a month and it was quickly packed with lots of great stuff. Look at the line-up: you can see the works of great Erica Baum and awesome Agam Andreas; marvelous poems by Michael Dec, L. G. Corey, Patrick Hartigan and Lauri Hei; super collages from Hiromi Suzuki and J4; enchanting visual poetry from Matron Koppany, Jozsef Biro, Vsevolod Vlaskine and Sacha Archer.

Michael Dec - 5 poems

Michael Dec was born in Highland Park, Michigan, an enclave of Detroit, on February 5th, 1956 and has lived in the area ever since. Aa well as frightening people with his "literature," Dec practices a form of noise music that evolved from garage rock and tape collages into something that disturbs people even more. He has been married to his wife, Mary, for 28 years, and is basically a nice guy.
