In every new age there comes a new method. Today the cyber culture sits on the brim of explosion. Our mission, after seven years is still very hard to pin down. We represent neither a group of writers nor one mode of writing. We enjoy innovative works of literature in what ever format that it chooses to find itself. We wish to promote new style, emerging voices and provide an outlet for these artists to express their artistic visions. This sounds good, and in turn we will try to live up to these standards and will do whatever is humanly possible. Please forgive us in advance for our flaws.

We have chosen Ezra Pound as our Editor-in-Chief and it is by his methods we strive to keep things new. It is our century and we look to this, as Creeley once noted, what else is one to do, make it old ? We are proud to present fine pieces of textual art in economically feasible formats.

So we are here and after five years we have seen many journals come and go, blogs come up from groundbreaking listservs, good friends die and good friends experience births … war, injustice and seemingly limitless stupidity come into power and now simmering softly as Duck Soup. We have seen many things, good and bad, and I am sure things will get worse before they get better. Our poetic voices are irrelevant in today’s political arena. So with that, we shall practice our poetry in the time that we have. Even through the darkest of times, the best minds blaze forward!
