Time for some summer reading! And have we got just what you
need…Our July issue features the Crystal Anniversary of our very own Second
Life, celebrating its 15th birthday. The celebration is over now,
but ten of our friends and contributors who have described their favorite
exhibition there. We’ve included all of them in the July issue, and we’ll leave
it to you to pick your favorite. Jami
Mills and Amy Inawe employed the Surrealist technique, Exquisite Corpse, to write together The Double-Crossers, this being the third of four installments of some
fun summer crime fiction. Zymony Guyot is back with another musing about time
with his lovely poem First the Clocks. The more we hear from this brilliant writer
the better. Cat Boccaccio gives us Random
Number, which talks of when it’s time to fly from the nest. A Tomboy’s Treasures is a treasure of
its own that Shyla the Super Gecko has bestowed upon us, showing us the plunder
of a tomboy, all held closely in a shoebox. Jullianna Juliesse stuns us with a
powerful poem about a mother/son bond created all the more deeply by a
difficult choice. You Know is the
latest piece by our favorite author, Art Blue. Admit it, you’re starting to
follow his logic, you know? Of all the gin joints, Dearstluv had to walk into
rez Magazine…. Gin Joints is
Dearstluv’s latest piece, and we’ll sit and listen to her for as long as she’s
willing to share…. Clamor is the
title of RoseDrop Rust’s latest poem. Rusty exhorts us to “Publish me!”, and we
couldn’t be happier complying. Consuela Hypatia Caldwell closes us out with her
exquisite poem, Lifetime, which
reminisces about days gone by. Let’s get reading (or at least look at the purdy
pictures). Your intrepid publisher, Jami
