Found It + Gentle Anarchy

Yep, I found the old master copies of Poetika, among a pile of old magazines in a bookcase in my living room. If it weren't for me inheriting mum's passion for hoarding stuff, I might have been less careful with it. Just the other day I saw a pile of magazines disappear. (In the middle of moving house.)

Will try to take some photos of it. :-)

In a bit of a dilemma. I'm not sure whether to publish the old Poetikas as they were, or redesign the layout. Would be fun to try something different. But would also be quite fun to reprint them as they were. Hmm... something to ponder.

Guess I'll decide when I take a look at them later in the week.

(Which also means that Poetika might only come out in June after all. Bad, bad me.)

Also, some people have been asking me about deadlines. FYI, there are no definite deadlines. It'll go to publication if and when I feel there's enough. And so should contributors decide when they're ready to go to print. If you want today to be the deadline, so be it. Tommorrow, then just snap your fingers and say "Voila!"

Poetika is ruled by gentle anarchy.

And if it's the same as how it was a couple of years ago, Poetika will come out maybe once or twice a month. So you can time your emailing according to the waxing or waning of the moon.

So far I've received contributions from (in no particular order):

1. Yusuf MA Bradley
2. Anis Ibrahim
3. Chi Too
4. Karcy R
5. Adeleke Adesanya
6. kG
7. Tolu Ogunlesi
8. Lauralyn Silva
9. Mohd Ikhwan
10. Nicholas Wong
11. Dreamygirl
12. Sobana Muthuvelu

plus some kick ass illustrations from Ace Lau.

Thank you so much to all. I've been enjoying reading the contributions and picking which ones to appear in the comeback issue.

Keep em coming.


Actually, come to think, that's already quite a handful, no? LOL.
