Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

I've been very busy at work, then took a needed vacation, then some health issues to deal with, blah blah, but here I am again, I think Infinite Tide is a great title! A subtitle's purpose is to elaborate, especially on a lovely title such as that, but one that does not tell what the book is, so kee...

Hello everyone, Too long waiting to announce the release of The Cenacle | 59 | October 2006. Overdue but madly full of goodies—from the beautiful cover art by new contributor Nemo Boko (visit his work at great length at http://www.nemo.org), to the lead essay “Revolution Evolution by pseudonymous Ge...

Hey Doreen,

I'm very interested in helping with the editing process. But I don't sell my work (it's a personal thing).

Is there deadline when the editors will see all the submissions and make their collective choices? I'm still hoping to help if my help is still needed

this poem is somewhat self-explanatory yet to dig into it is to come with me back to a quiver of years when i was digging deeply into my fascination with mid-century counterculture and seeking out its kind in form and people...i travelled the land, the 'net, met many, on many nights, many buses, in ...

The Groove i. there is no ending to the groove through which music flows to hearts unknown we learned too much we learned too little we learned nearly enough last night another death trip, i keep having those of late beyond language & name have i even come back at all? i’ve learned too much i know t...

wow jim nice stuff! are there submissions not in this thread? i've not been around a few days and wanted to catch up on the book's submission process

This poem was inspired, in part, by the poems of the ancient Persian poet Rumi, whose poems I published in a collection that can be gotten here: http://scriptorpress.yage.net/BM01_1999_rumi.pdf Working with several of his poems, I conjured up the poem's narrative, which was also inspired by the weir...

Phantom Limbs (After Rumi) i. We live our lives by habit. Each face we have to show each other begs for redemption. Eyes glisten. Mouths silent. We were raw. We matured. Then we burned. Cascades of fresh notes as new soul enters the twilight den. Crescendoes of hope. Eyes glisten. A moment packed to...

Jim,

I hope "open road" can be gotten, it is a very nice piece...good luck on it! also, if you don't have a scanner, they are at places like Kinko's and like copier places.

This poem has a long genesis story which I'd like to put succinctly...I'd written another poem as my Master's Thesis project back in '94, a poem called "Beauty, Obscura," which I'd constructed from all sorts of pieces...this poem was a kind of re-make/sequel/re-mix...both are sourced partly in an ob...

Beauty, Afflictus (for Shannon) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If someone were to fall into intimate slumber, sleep of the golden eyes, sleep of the murmuring grey fields, & slept deeply with Things, shiny pinkcheeked Thin...

as much as I like writing in my own little universe, publishing is a collaborative event, and countless the pleasures in it...a good group of people can generate a creative firestorm when they gather and get it together

I understand what you mean about voting and ratings, seems to maybe impersonalize or mechanize the process a bit. What works best, however the details come together, is a clear process. Think of it like a ball team, where each person plays a position with certain duties, but they are all part of the...

Hey Doreen, One process my wife Kassi and I have used at Scriptor Press is to weight the submissions, 1-10, and then figure which poems receive the highest score. Then, to keep the process interesting, we allow each other a few wild card picks, poems that one or the other of us really likes and want...
