Sometimes a poem in the hand is worth a dozen on the screen. There is something about holding paper while you read that can't be replaced by a monitor's glow. Nobius Black, the publisher of Calliope Nerve, believes this, and so he publishes a concise, one-page literary journal when he finds suitable material to fill both sides. Black's taste seems to run towards the edgy, abstract, avant garde verse. Consider Black's own piece,
The Troupe of Calliope.
At Hatrack River
I made my crossing
To that Ferryman
Offered a -Word-
(The taste was sweet)
Turned out he loves poetry!
Charon lept for free.
This is not an exit.
I a bard.
The altitude of me
Never brings you ladies down!
(rather swooning)
I am
May conceived
Pen man.
Duets of Fire
Inside the Soul.
We are all members
Of the Troupe of Calliope.
Calliope Nerve is distributed by mail, free for the asking. New issues are announced on Black's blog, White Rabbit-*BLACK HOLE*, when they are published.
New submissions are sought, guidelines are also posted at the same blog.
