All who have submitted, thanks for bearing with us - all responses are very delayed - one could say the beast writhes, decayed, near absent body, in the sludge of an unspeakable pit

A publication worth supporting, for the range and depth of its vision and ambition. And hello to @huntergagnon who I see has work in it, he was such a pleasure to correspond with when he published work of mine recently in the excellent @SlouchingBeastJ.

read the striking "Home alone" by Vytenis Bagdonas @bagvyt
Bagdonas generates an amazing intensity of memory and image here, with details energizing commentary - we loved it, and the dark-dwelling insects too, of course

Alan Bern's photo-haiga in @ZinDaily!
"... I capture moments, sometimes with the camera on my phone, sometimes with a few words, and sometimes with both... And, yes, it’s often awfully familiar, but there is always something new to see..."

"Rats Live on No Evil Star" by Mike Bove
A sweet poem about child-rearing, anxiety and a very evocative palindrome. The rats are the little fleeting custodians of our dreams. A piece of memory and change.

Read and love (as we did) Chella Courington's poems - personal and narrative, they generate a jewel-like reality that allows for intensified cataclysm
"Clouds" and "Close to the Edge"

"MISSIVE TO MY CHILDREN" and "CLATTER OF BLISS"
by Ismail Junaid Oluwadamilare @IsmailJunaidOl1
Thundering language of metaphysical suffering, triumph and warfare - poems acting as incantations and expansions of the personal into cosmic battle

"The coming resort of the world" and "114,901 acres" by Glenn Bach @AtlasCorpus
incredible world-poetry that describes an "Atlas" through scenes of environmental change, expansion, the hungry and terrified spirit-beast of development striding around

Read "Body Count" and "Lucy Terry Prince" by Elizabeth Upshur @Lizzy5by5 in Issue 4
Love these poems that intensely engage with the concept of history - as a personal, scattering, violent concept, redeemed by the possibility of communion through story

Language battles its own abstraction - "Be Radha, She Wrote On The Back" by Kushal Poddar - emotion narrative inflamed by cosmic imagery, read it! Very good intensification of substance w/ sleeves of myth-images slouchingbeastjournal.com/ku…
Going to try this newsletter thing. About to send out some flustered thoughts (a rant!) praise for Issue 4 contributors
Will be more personal, but, potentially, ill-advised🦺

Loved the short fiction / flash horror of Steven Hendrix in Issue 4
work that is calmly, coldly estranging
(we at Slouching Beast are addicted to estrangement)
read "I took the elevator down..." and "My pen falls from my hand..."

"A WOLF IN THE HEAD" and "PLEASE PASS WHAT HE SAID" by Alan Bern
slouchingbeastjournal.com/al…
Atmospherics of panic, delirium, fear, predation breakdown of language. Bern's pieces immediately transmit the reader into a specific perception / interior world.

Read "Beyond the Flesh" by Seungbihn Park
slouchingbeastjournal.com/se…
Park's poems are vivid, reflective and sometimes brutally violent - voice projected into the communal drift of consciousness, and the intensity of life taken.
