read the September issue of rez in Joomag:
As we begin our fifteenth year of
publishing some of the best poetry and prose anywhere on the grid, we’re privileged
to present another issue of rez Magazine, featuring some new voices,
some old friends, and works from those not still with us. We start the issue with our newest author (or
perhaps one of our oldest authors, who’s to say?), BBIWY, who has contributed an
astonishing tale called CTRL+ALT+G. Art
Blue’s AI owl, Neruval, somehow accesses God’s server with unpredictable
results. Impossible, you say. Find out for yourself. rakshowes is back with a sweet and sour dish
that needs to be savored to be believed.
Sugary, tart, but always sweet, enjoy her poem, Sweet and Sour. June Stormcrow contributes mid-life lust
in a small southern town, reminding us that lovers of all ages can still
lose themselves in the passion of a romance. Dead Bolts is, frankly,
disturbing and unsettling. If you’re in
the mood for a chilling ghost story, Cat Boccaccio delivers up a scary tale
indeed. Art Blue brings us another master work, Why AI Stands for Human
Intelligence. Did Art Blue catch
Chat GPT making a rookie error or did Art fall for an intentional feint by the
notorious AI machine? Zymony Guyot is
still in our thoughts after his passing last year. But we publish posthumously another work of
his, titled simply Buzz. An incredible talent gone too soon. And
finally, Shadow Liberty gives us a stunning poem, Cherished Moments,
which brings to life lovers fumbling in their passion. All in all, another wonderful issue of rez
Magazine, the beginning of our fifteenth year. Our privilege, our passion.
