Civilisation’s Golden Dawn: A Slide Show
By Christodoulos Makris.
Boy sitting on a ledge, stone mountains hanging mid-air behind him, looking down.
Food and hospitality are important to culture.
Thessaloniki: a goalkeeper lunge, an open window, broken glass, a deep cut above the left eye, to hospital for stitches.
All packed up.
Conditions
By Mira Mattar.
The group watching the spinning top is similarly lit. Their focus is strict. The atmosphere is taut. The top spins and the bird flaps. Breath is held.
Factors that might affect the top’s momentum include: breath, someone stumbling and knocking the table, a telephone ringing, the pizza finally arriving.
Festschrift
By Jonathan Gibbs.
Can there be, can there honestly be a more stirring monument to the depthless mysteries of the male mind than this: that there exists, for each and every one of us, a lifetime tally of sexual accomplishment? A number it is given to few to know precisely, but an empirically valid one nonetheless. It is the figure you look back on, on your deathbed, and, proverbially, would never wish lower than it is. Not, you understand, the number of distinct sexual partners, which is after all a more manageable and quantifiable statistic, but of the individual acts themselves, stacked up in fair years and fallow.
Breton in Mexico
By Dylan Brennan.
I. The Idiot
A feathered snake delighted him more
For the absurdity of the juxtaposition
Than any sense of the anthropological
The Surreal was whatever he said it was
And all he had to do was point his finger
At the Dadaist binaries that popped up
For his amusement—QuetzalButterfly
