This month's issue of rez Magazine is particularly wonderful thanks to Dubhna Rhiadra's breathtaking parable, Moonlight Prince, which we publish in two parts. This is storytelling at its finest and we're fortunate to have the likes of Dubhna spinning more tales for us. Amy Inawe spins a tale of her own with The Stiletto Gang, an inspired story that is beautifully represented by Cat Boccaccio's stellar graphics. Cat has been itching to get back into design and the results speak for themselves. Welcome home, Cat. Jullianna Juliesse has given us one of her strongest poems yet with The Dream Play, an enlightened contribution from a great talent. Only a page away is another wonderful poem, Landscape, by Julie's partner in crime, Mariner Trilling, who explores how opposites aren't always so different in. Average Resident comes out of nowhere with a surprisingly average story called I Am Average. The entire piece makes you question not only what's average, but just about everything else too. Cat Boccaccio sure can write, and her micro-fiction is unparalleled. This month, she takes us into a dystopian future and opens up a new world to our eyes with The Body. Art Blue seems to be on a roll lately, writing inspired prose. This month, he contributes a short observation about the work of the talented Gem Preiz. The Anthropic Principle is Art's succinct take on Gem's LEA installment, which you all should see. Pretty Pictures is Mario Zecca's most recent poem, which disguises some very powerful imagery behind the innocence of child-like drawings. Drover Mahogany offers his seventh installment of the always insightful series, Footfalls Echo. This month Drover reveals the value of listening in 7. Talking. Flynt Firebrand returns to our pages with a lovely, dynamic piece called The One That Declined to Get Away, which spectacularly rounds out this month's issue. We hope you enjoy reading this month's issue as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. Remember, if you only have time to read one thing this month, make it rez.

February rez Posted
Read the February issue of rez in Issuu:
Another month has rolled around and we’re proud to present a very strong slate of gifted writers and artists in our February issue. Nothing makes us happier than to highlight the best and the brightest from the virtual worlds, and that’s just who we have to offer in this month’s issue. Starting with our cover story about Gem Preiz’s outstanding exhibit, No Frontiers (now showing at LEA16), our very own Art Blue guides us through Gem’s 16 “salles” (Gem resides in everyone’s favorite city, Paris), each one with an exquisite, monumental work like nothing else you’ve ever seen before. We’re also fortunate to incorporate an insightful interview with the artist, as well as several shots of his stunning work. Our poetry editors, Julllianna Juliesse and Mariner Trilling, are now betrothed and one of our favorite contributors, Merope Madrigal, commemorates this blessed event in her romantic ode, This is How. Something very exciting is coming together on LEA10, where Cassie Parker and Chrissy Rhiano are reimagining Victorian London (specifically the Whitechapel area, the scene of Jack the Ripper’s murderous rampage). In Tales of the City, Cassie takes us behind the scenes every step of the way as she and Chrissy scurry from the first kernel of an idea about Penny Dreadfuls, to an empty sim, to a finished London, replete with period shops and a live performance theater. When it opens, take a friend - - the streets may not be completely safe! Mariner Trilling’s Safe in the Arms of Yahweh demonstrates his peculiar gift of blending the sacred and the profane, and we know you’ll enjoy this irreverent bit of mischief. Jullianna Juliesse takes to the streets and reminds us that democracy is safe so long as We, the People, remain vigilant and raise our voices when necessary. Her poem, Day One, implores each of us to actively participate in our own futures. Also, Cat Boccaccio has a secret that she’s not telling, in her micro-fiction gem, Secrets. We love how Cat is able to capture in so few words an entire lifetime of meaning. Meanwhile, Drover Mahogany wanders through the hills of Australia, and by no means aimlessly. In fact, if he’s lost at all, he’s lost in his own thoughts, richly recalling past epiphanies in Footfalls Echo: Epiphany, his fourth in a series of musings about life. If you only have a moment left, spend it reading Tamera Boberg’s evocative Spring Morning After Berry would be our suggestion. This is Tamera’s first piece to appear in rez, and you’re about to find out why we hope there will be many more in coming issues. Put another log on the fire, curl up, and enjoy this month’s issue.

November/December rez Posted
Read the November/December rez in Issuu:
In keeping with tradition, we are combining our November and December issues into a single holiday issue, chock full of wonderful stories and poetry. If you have a moment in the days ahead, please treat yourself to some of the best writers around, in any medium. First, Jami Mills takes us through one of the great entertainments of this year, Imagine Too!, produced by The Monarchs (with a special mention of Royal Shippe and Diiar Vader Shippe). Now this show is something that can only be presented in a virtual world, and it is simply fabulous. Please be sure to catch their next performance. Huckleberry Hax returns to our pages with a wonderful ode to the 70s, in bring back the 70s. Jullianna Juliesse brings us a stunning poem, Dancing With My Mutant Genes, and reminds us of why we love her work so much. Third Pilot is back with his second and last installment of Plan 9-800-Meta Harpers. Now we discover the stuff this crazy owl is made of! Mariner Trilling contributes a tight, erotic observation with his Sexy Triolet (fans herself). Drover Mahogany continues his brilliant compilation of meditations he calls Footfalls Echo, this time, Chapter Two: Roads Not Taken. Close behind is JadeSecret Quan’s exquisite poem, Eagle Creek, so beautifully descriptive, you can feel the water wash over you. And if you’ve ever wanted to know what the life of a struggling artist is really about, you’ll be bowled over by Cassie Parker’s In A World of Change, a fascinating exploration of the creative arts. Mario Zecca joins us again with a thoughtful poem, The Coming of the Winter Sun, which reminds us of the changing seasons, and the coldness of the approaching winds. Space and Grace is Cat Boccaccio’s most recent glimpse (just a glimpse) into a slice of our humanity. We love each and every one of her pieces. And so, there you have our holiday issue, to bring you warmth, cheer, hope and blessings for a brighter future. We wish you a happy holiday season filled with love and family.

October rez Published
Read the October rez in Issuu:
We dedicate this issue to a giant in the world of poetry, Serene Bechir, who recently passed away. This month, we’ve reprinted her beautiful poem, in the pine straw blowing, which epitomizes her tender vision. With her passing, we’re reminded again of our own mortality and how brief is our time here. So we create art. And so many brilliant artists have joined us this month: An owl going by the name Third Pilot brings us this month’s feature, Plan 9 – Meta Harpers, but I swear I sense Art Blue’s presence when I read it. Cat Boccaccio writes remarkable short fiction, and this month she’s given us Naming Names, a charming story about righting wrongs - - in this case, a very wrong name. A touching poem about things beyond our control, A Child on the Beach brings us back to our core values, our humanity. Mariner Trilling has a little fun with Monkey Feet, a light poem about living with the shame of simian appendages. We’ve published Drover Mahogany’s fine work before, but this time we’re publishing each month one of his insightful contemplations , which he enjoys so much during his regular walks in Australia. The first is “Footfalls Echo - 1. Memory. You’re in for a treat. Speaking of treats, Cassie Parker, the founder of TersiCorps Werks, shares with us her approach to nurturing her dancers in Let’s Do Our Best. Cassie leads by example, and hers is a most inspiring one. Our regular contributor, the multi-faceted Conseula Hypatia Caldwell, has given us an elegant poem this time around, Stars of a Brilliant Soul Rising. Merope Madrigal also returns with a wonderful poem, At a Five Star Resort, which focuses on some of the social inequalities we’re forced to confront. Huckleberry Hax takes a look at city life and sees how it stacks up, in City Boy. It seems there’s a little something for everyone in this month’s issue, and who doesn’t enjoy a good read?
