read the August issue of rez in Joomag
I wish we didn’t need to say this, but we’ve lost another
long-time contributor and wonderfully talented poet, Dearstluv Writer, who
passed away this past month. So, we
celebrate her in the best possible way, reminding everyone about what a gifted
poet she was. Her beautiful poem, Without
Words, starts us off. Art Blue describes the Berlin Generational Art
Conference of 2044. Wait, what? Yes,
Herr Blue is that far ahead of the rest of us. Klannex Northmead rejoins our
pages with the first of two coupled poems, Blue Mist. We look forward to
the companion piece in next month’s issue. Jullianna Juliesse has long been the
foundation of our poetry offerings, this time bringing a recent event into
focus in a way only Julie knows how to do. Our favorite AI, Neruval the Owl,
grants a rare interview to help explain the recent world-wide computer
cataclysm, courtesy of Crowdstrike. And Art Blue follows with an
explanation of what jeopardy we’re all in, in this computer-driven world.
RoseDrop Rust has been busy writing splendid poetry, this month’s contribution
being Mother Nature’s Tongue. Cat
Boccaccio, whose voice we continue to admire, delivers a wonderful short story,
Survival. Dee Wells, who hosts
the Sunday evening Salon, introduces us to a brilliant composer who happened to
be an inconvenient gender way back then, Fanny Mendelssohn. If you were looking
for something to dig into for your summer reading, you’ve come to the right
place. Enjoy!
