Issue 20.
Twenty blinks of an eye.
Twenty times Dada said “no.”
Twenty times reality answered with laughter.
“Maintenant,” published by Three Rooms Press in NYC, has arrived.
My collage is there as well.
It entered through the side door, carrying a suitcase full of cut-outs, a handful of unfinished sentences, and one question about truth.
Madame Pipe lit her pipe.
Politicians have become LOLiticians.
Manifestos have turned into memes.
Propaganda has learned how to dance.
Truth left without saying goodbye — or perhaps it merely changed costumes.
“Improperganda.”
240 writers and artists from around the world are searching the pockets of contemporary life for something that may no longer exist.
Because if there is no truth,
is there still such a thing as dissent?
And if there is —
can it speak in any language other than laughter?
