ISSUE #1 

Editor's Note:
It was the twilight days of Seks-ua when i first thought about switching gears and making some sort of separate blog dedicated to modern extreme writing of all walks of life. But then i've got into The Kitchen Poet affair and that didn't pan that well. While Utsanga is a nice place for all things experimental - I always wanted to do my own place for experimental writing for authors from around the world. And that's why I started Brave New Word.
