For this metaview, Metazen's parting editor Finnegan Flawnt met the Queen of Flash Meg Pokrass in the formal gardens of Metazen’s sanatorium for insane writers.
The journey is its own reward, folks. Be bad more of the time, be a dog when you're a dog and you'll have more fun being good again one shiny day. Let death have its dominion, one lousy moment at a time.
Meeting Carol Novack, the editor of Mad Hatter's Review, was almost as good as other good things (though not quite as good as yet other things).
metazen editors working as a team to save body and soul of an author after rejection by another literary magazine. notice how seamlessly they collaborate to guarantee publication.
Nobody's there to kick us out of paradise because there's no god. Eva's turned feminist and the serpent is in online marketing now.
I am interested in writing a novel from flash and I'm not aware of any novelist I admire who has taken that route.
we don’t talk much about another important effect of metazen the mag, especially for the aging writer: the magazine will keep you eternally young if you read every one of its installments. a fountain of youth.
just now i came out of hot tub - i don’t often take baths i prefer the invigorating almost taunting effect of a shower...and it made me realise that i, and this blog by inclusion, need a change. so here we are.
Every time I read a great line by another writer, I feel fear, in case I might, journeying the desert, come to a hut, knock at the door and, upon seeing eye to unseeing eye with my destiny, be required to speak my mind and need that line because no other will do.
two writers sat down for a meal, carefully avoiding any talk of their art. they shared stories of their wives and children. of cars to let loose on the fast lane. of tech gadgets to play with as only boys play, exploring all keys and functions.
