Inverted Syntax Issue 2 | February 2020
$15.00
excerpted from A Letter from the Editor on Issue 2 | February 2020
"In this issue, we bring our readers conversations that are enlivened when read as a whole, that speak to our deepest subconscious desires about our mortality. They speak from a space of timelessness — works fused into unison, into one voice. We believe, once you let yourself enter this space, your senses start reaching outside the imposed language lines and you experience language and art as a map to the subconscious at work in our lives.
Issue Two builds on mapping the subconscious working through visual and textual arts. It presents the idea that humans everywhere are in conversation with each other, that when you pay attention to those conversations, when they are aligned just right, they can reveal answers to something more.
We hope that when you, dear reader, connect the dots between our curated multiple works by multiple creators, you will discover yourself in them and discover you are not just here but you are everywhere, you too are alive in our text and you will come close to answers about your existence."
Our print issues are unlike most literary journals in that they are printed in full color. Issue Two is a 106-paged issue in an 8.5 x 8.5 format featuring work by award-winning writers and artists including winners of the Sublingua Prize for Poetry finalists and winners judged by Dorothea Lasky
