As summer chugs along, we’re all making our way through our summer reading list. And here’s the September issue of rez just in the nick of time. We start this month’s issue off with a bang: Singh Albatros returns to us with a remarkable parable about a boy and a bird. The Boy That Would Be Bird is beautifully written and deeply moving. In The New Linden Home Saga, our intrepid cub reporter, Barbie Starr, investigates the intrigue of obtaining a free Linden home with the new Premium membership and takes us step by step through the arduous process. No issue of rez would be complete without an offering by RoseDrop Rust. This month, Rusty visits the anguish of another mass shooting in America with a powerful poem El Paso – A Sacrifice of Hippies. It’s difficult to read, but read it we must. rakshowes adds a brilliant poem Fire that is full of passion, heat and energy. You’ll be seeing more of rakshowes in future issues. With The Uplink: Under Control, Seclifer brings us an essay on Making Lies Great Again, Code, ancient Greece, and much, much more. In another powerful and personal poem, Sunday Morning, Jullianna Juliesse comes to terms with a failed relationship with such grace and resolve. On a lighter note, Trinana Peach brings us Peppermints and Butterflies, a happy poem about frolicking youth and how it passes all too soon. TimAqua, who writes so beautifully about so many subjects turns his attention to the subject of love in Love Will Find Her Way. Simply breathtaking. And last and perhaps fittingly, Art Blue asks Why Not Nuke Them All? With Hurricane Dorian bearing down on the Eastern Seaboard, it’s a timely question. Please enjoy reading this issue as much as we’ve enjoyed publishing it. Until next month, have fun reading!
