Sunday, May 06, 2007A Letter (Or Two) to Calliope
I recently got this cool letter of comment for Calliope Nerve VIII: Why Go?
Hey there... I love it! love it love it love it. I'm telling everyone I know about it. You said i could. ;) quotes... are a thing that i love. and, further, this fit together in a way that made most sense in my world. thank you for the entertaining and inspiring read. i needed it. cheers, michele And my response... Thanks. It takes a special kind of person to appreciate Anthrax old school metal quotes along side insightful poetry. :) Seriously, there are two points to Calliope Nerve. The first is and always will be original content and it's why I use a minimalist design. The other is my no snobs policy. I hate artistic and intellectual snobbery and that's why we've published everyone from a 17 year old cheerleader to accomplished poets/writers to a retired pest exterminator. Art is for all... David was also kind enough to post about Calliope. We had a lively discussion via email regarding poetry magazines and he submitted a few pieces for future issues. One of the cool things about doing Calliope is frequently I get background material or have discussions with the authors regarding their work. Most of that can't be run in the magazine because of space limitations but when we do our book, I'd love to include some of the "tricks behind the magic." Speaking of letters of comment, it's good to see a number of comics are again running a letters page. In my mind, the Internet makes a poor substitute for a letters page. Now, if they'd only bring back the classified adds at the back of comics. I mean, I'm lost without my X-ray glasses and Sea Monkeys. And now, I'm showing my age. :) More later. Lots going on this weekend with Free Comic Book Day, the Cherry Blossom Festival, and I finally got a copy of A Contract with God. And I even managed to squeak in a two hour work out on Friday. -posted by Nobius 11:19 AM #

Hey, if you want, "the captain of this ship" is yours. I was actually gonna submit it to you, so it's interesting that you commented on it. . . "

Haven't been writing much poetry lately. . . I'm working on a novel, my true dream. It's about a cult leader named the Whooshay. It's gonna take me forever to write. . . Congrats on the compliments. She likes issue VIII because it's the best one (wink wink) shawn

Great minds think alike. :) I'd be honored to use "the captain of this ship." Good luck with your novel! If you ever need some proofreading...hint, hint. :) Issue eight was damn good man. Damn good. :) |
