fifth issue :: November 2004
Excerpt from Najimi 3 by Wayne Sullins
From a series of vignettes or micros, this was one that caught our eye. Brief, shining, and tense.
Yellow Water Roses by Dorothee Lang
Attempts at description fail. This is beautiful, ghostly, a series of images half-hidden in emotional mists. Beautifully done. Check out this author's site for her mixed media work and photography, very nice stuff.
Absent Husband II by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal
Sequel to The Absent Husband published previously in rumble, Luis returns with more of what made the first installment so great. The images he evokes are strange and wonderful.
Seeing Oedipus by Jerry Vilhotti
Streaming brief and evocative, this piece might defy classification. A tight piece from this first-time contributor.
Mr. Rogers' Shoes by Andy Adams
A straight piece of absurdity, Andy has created a short yet complete description of the fall of civilization as we know it. We're sure not looking forward to it...
Economics by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal
Excellent imagery, a thoughtful poem by the author of The Absent Husband series.. .
Taxi Downtown by Dorothee Lang
The author of Yellow Water Roses is also a talented photographer. Check out her website for more of her work--some beautiful images I must say.
