With the warmer weather comes balmy afternoons just perfect for sitting under a tree outside and catching up on some neglected reading.  We have just the thing for you this month, a Spring issue of rez full of captivating writing by some of the best writers on the grid.  Where else to start than with one of our most favorite poets, Jullianna Juliesse, who shares a piece about felon politicians, A Dive Bar in Minneapolis.  What issue of rez would be complete without an article by Art Blue’s alter ego, Kunst Blau.  In A Mind Gone, Blau continues his examination of all things AI.  Do machines want to mimic humans or surpass them?  Jami Mills revisits The Monarch’s production, Atlantis Soaring, which dates back some eight years, but seems like yesterday.  Cat Boccaccio’s Swedish Rock and Roll is next, a piece that epitomizes her unique style of saying more with less. Steps into My Brain gives the real Art Blue a chance to query ChatGPT about the mind-altering experience of entering Art Blue’s brain. Lynn Mimistrobell gives a master class on the work of Rimsky-Korsakov, concentrating on Scheherazade.  Persephone Phoenix brings a short poem with a one-two punch, Race Relations.  And last, but certainly not least, RoseDrop Rust awakens a dragon and a woman’s wardrobe suffers.  Enjoy this month’s issue!

Spring has sprung once again and we can once again venture out into the garden with a copy of rez to enjoy the day. Keeping you company this month is rakshowes, whose short story, The Adoption, takes us into the watery world of mermaids. Jullianna Juliesse is in top form with her hilarious Make America Pray Again about a well-known huckster. Jami Mills resurrects an old interview with GlitterPrincess Destiny in her story this month, Born in Kurdistan. No issue of rez would be complete without a futuristic story, Amerkia is Great Again, by Art Blue, this one concentrating on all things AI and introducing The Debugger. Oh, Bucket is a fanciful dream of Cat Boccaccio of an al fresco meal in the central square in Sienna with the judges of Top Chef. RoseDrop Rust titillates with his contribution, When She. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. And lastly, Lynn Mimistrobell continues her musical teachings, this one describing the accomplishments of British choral composer, James Whitbourn. Enjoy this issue.

Art Blue kicks things off with ALMA, a broad-ranging treatise on AI and all of its implications.  Will Art upload his brain?  Well, you’ll just have to read ALMA to find out.  With Buy One Egg McMuffin Get One Free, Jullianna Juliesse entertains us with a hilarious poem about freebies of all kinds, and, of course, that indomitable ever-watching Target eye. RoseDrop Rust gets mushy on us with About You, waxing eloquently about the virtues of romantic love. According to God 9000, Hell is about an AI with too many brains. Would you upload your brain? Speaking of brains, our beloved Cat Boccaccio’s Bob’s Brain tells the story of someone just a tad too honest for his own good. Nazzie Darkshadow returns with her visceral take on the January 6^th US Capitol insurrection. And to wrap up this issue, Lynn Mimistrobell gives a master class on the overture. Enjoy!
