Kalajdjieva) has been writing and being published since she was 7 years old.
She is a master public reading evader, she writes in short forms, currently
lacking the discipline for a novel. She is writing in 3 languages, reading in
10. She translates between some of those, sometimes professionally, sometimes
just to break beauty down to its smallest parts and recreate it. She has
published 2 poetry collections of her own, Stars
and Sparks of a Dream 2000 and Wordigami
2015, and has been published in various group collections and magazines in
several countries and languages, most recently in Japan and Hong Kong.

literature and is just completed a research fellowship in Japanese culture and
concrete/visual poetry. She is currently a travel writer for several magazines
and websites.

ISSUE 4
ISSUE #4
Editors note:
Still can't believe this magazine lasted more than three issues. I guess i'm becoming a more organized person because of this. Anyway...Original plan for the #4 was to make a prose-centered issue. There was a fair share of nice pieces that were individually fine - but in whole it wasn't working at all. It was a mess. So I decided to start from scratch instead trying to fix fundamentally broken concept.
And it was moderately successful. It took longer than usual to make it work. The flow wasn't as good as Issue 3. There were a lot of trash submissions and too many pieces that were critically unfit for the magazine that promotes experimental writing. But after all - it's a solid issue with lots and lots of great stuff to read and think about.
I'm glad to present you the works of the following:
