read the September issue of rez in Joomag
Now that we can finally look forward to a beautiful
Autumn season, our summer reading pastime is similarly drawing to a close. Not to worry.
The September issue of rez is more than up to the challenge of providing
grist for your reading mill. Klannex
Northmead starts us off with Blue Mist II, the second of two companion
poems, the first being published in the August issue. Klannex’s special gift of
evoking a deep emotional response is on full display. TSNRO brings us Absurd
Reality, wherein he brings to account the 160 or so contributions that Art
Blue has made to rez Magazine over the years. 160 more, we say! Jullianna Juliesse shares her perspective on
the detritus of a life well lived by musing over where to dispose of it all. We
reprise a 2017 article by Cassie Parker, A Penny Saved, A Penny Earned,
describing the SLEA installation of the dance troupe TerpsiCorps. Shyla the
Super Gecko enchants as she always does with a beautiful poem, Spirit,
wondering where it might have gone in the modern world. Cat Boccaccio’s writing
is in a league of its own, and this month we feature a short short story, High
Five, exploring moral challenges of family life. Art Blue joins in the fun
with a hysterically funny piece called From Yesterday, in which he determines,
among other things, how long it takes a coconut to fall from a tree. Nazaryn Nebula returns to our pages with Perfectly
Normal, a perfectly wonderful poem about romantic intimacy. Dee Wells
closes out the September with a sweet exposition of the works of Johann the
Younger, Johann Strauss II. Autumn reading season has now begun
