ISSUE 13

Editor's Note:

The more i write editor's notes, the less i actually have to say about the creation of the particular issue. I don't know why. It just happens this way. There is nothing particularly interesting in putting together another issue of an online magazine. You just gather a lot of stuff, sort it out, put in some kind of sequence and then post. Why I'm telling you this - because i'm honest with you.

This issue was a long time coming mostly due to the fact that I wanted to make an issue "just like back then" but in the same time "make it new" and "make difference". Because of that i was announcing and announcing calls for submissions over and over again and it didn't really worked out.

If previously i was dealing with too many trash submissions - now i just wasn't interested in the majority of the stuff sent. Not that it was bad, it was just passable. And the thing with passable stuff is that it makes you don't care - passable stuff is toxic. And i can't give the platform for that kind of stuff.

Anyway, this issue is good. Really good. And you need to experience it for yourself.

Tommasina Bianca Squadrito - Six Abstract Poems

Tommasina Bianca Squadrito lives in Palermo, had studied aesthetics and sculpture in Palermo and in Florence with Ermanno Migliorini.

She participated in 2011 at the Forfest-festival of contemporary art and music of Kromeriz, Czech Republic.

She is interested in the boundaries of the arts and collaborates with architects, musicians, actresses following my passion for a Calligraphy without writing that touches words upside down, small and hardly visible signs, other ways.

Her works were published on The new postliterate, Asemic magazine, Utsanga 7, Gamm, Ponte bianco, Slova issue 15, Zoomoozophone review 8 and other exhibitions. I have developed two web projects: http://monitulipare.blogspot.com and http://siarbariaachidi.blogspot.com

About the project:

I collect points as accents in the writing space, as accents of literary, cognitive and non-cognitive space. Freed accents. These vital points are in the atmosphere under many forms and regenerate it. And they are also ancient neumes and here, in the phrases that I write to you. And even small horizontal freed line, like an episema of the gregorian chant, that give shelter to the duration of the sounds.
