I adored all of your pieces, but I was completely taken with 'And The Beat Goes On'. Your hypnotic rhythm and evocative language captivated me and I'm thrilled to have it in our first issue of littledeath. (Lucky me that the other magazines didn't snap it up first, hm?)

“
I really like the two poems and the story, which is a refreshing kitchen sink realism I don’t often encounter these days. They are all three delicious and thematically holistic.

Love your poetry, it's a shame those others were taken as we really liked them all. We would love to publish "Smooth Whiskey" and "Killers."
