A quick note about Poignettes

2009-02-09T18:07:00.000-08:00

Our centerfold in February is titled as Poignettes by Carteblanche Eberhardt.

This is, in fact, only part of a larger work entitled The Children of Amon -- An English Ennead or Prose Poem which consists of the following parts:

Poignettes
Stosstruppen
The Hawk
In Her Father's Mansion
Daughers of Akhenaten
Ganges In The Sky
The Mermaid
Propator
and
I Would Have Stayed

We plan to be publishing the remainder of this work over the next several issues of AnonLiterary.

February Issue!

2009-02-09T17:58:00.000-08:00

The February issue is out!

Cabin Fever. Claustrophobia. Heat. OK, the only thing we might think we know about Saint Valentine is that maybe one of the valorous Valentines cured a deaf a blind jailor's daughter, just before getting beaten to death and then beheaded, for performing Christian marriages. We do like to inspire our writers, and are never disappointed at what they lay, beaten and beheaded at our cabin door. Poetry by Coke Bernstein, Persephone Phoenix, Carteblanche Eberhardt, Brunhilda Inglewood, Dakota Dreamscape and Nebbisk Oh. Graphical satire by Must Packbiers and Aribella Lafleur, theatre column by Mariner Trilling, and a play about love by Jack Lefebvre. Heh.

Because of SL Group limitations, we are now distributing the magazine in-world from the vendors, or you can subscribe by clicking on the "Click to Subscribe" box outside the AnonLiterary magazine offices.

2009-01-02T15:48:00.000-08:00

We start a new year, guided by Janus, the god of gates, doorways, beginnings and endings, symbolizing transitions from past to future, one vision to another, civilization and barbarity, one universe to another. Janus had two faces - how many do we have? AnonLiterary writers stand in the gateways.

Hard to find?

2008-09-01T22:42:00.001-07:00

I've heard that people are complaining that they have difficulty finding the PDF files. However, I'm a little confused by that. The website is quite simple -- just click on the cover of the issue you want and you get the pdf file.

Please comment on this post to explain exactly what is hard to find, so that I can try to fix it.

Ted Kooser Quote

2008-07-13T17:54:00.000-07:00

Here is a lovely quote by Ted Kooser (See earlier video post) Poet Laureate of the United States from 2004 to 2006. While several of us have written poems reprimanding angst ridden poets, Ted explains in a clear way why he writes what he writes and how he thinks about the reader first with his poems:

"Every stranger's tolerance for poetry is compromised by much more important demands on his or her time. Therefore, I try to honor my reader's patience and generosity by presenting what I have to say as clearly and succinctly as possible .... Also, I try not to insult the reader's good sense by talking down; I don't see anything to gain by alluding to intellectual experiences that the reader may not have had. I do what I can to avoid being rude or offensive; most strangers, understandably, have a very low tolerance for displays of pique or anger or hysteria. Being harangued by a poet rarely endears a reader. I am also extremely wary of over cleverness; there is a definite limit to how much intellectual showing off a stranger can tolerate."- Midwest Quarterly, 1999

If we are doing a literary blog, then we ought to start with this. lol

2008-07-09T21:06:00.000-07:00

"So I Married an Axe Murder" is one of our family favorites. Maybe it's because we have Scottish heritage and every character in the movie has an uncanny resemblance to our own family members or maybe it's just because Mike Myers is so damn funny. Anyway, why can't all of the SL poetry readings come off like this one - I guess Ada will just have to get a back-up band.

TED Talks: Sir Ken Robinson asks, "Do Schools Kill Creativity?"

2008-07-03T12:48:00.000-07:00

If you haven't discovered TED talks yet, you are really missing some great stuff.

From their site:

"TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design it started out as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become even broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes)"

This is heady stuff that will fascinate you. Imagine Biography, The Discovery Channel and YouTube all coming together.

The list of speakers ranges from scientists to musicians to inventors to politicians with names that include Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Thomas Dolby, Richard Dawkins, Jeff Bezos, Bono, Stephen Hawking, Larry Lessig, Jill Sobule, Amy Tan and Jane Goodall.

Check out Sir Ken Robinson with his talk "Do Schools Kill Creativity?" (see link above)
