Fuck the word the word is dead

A new-look Dogmatika has been relaunched (courtesy of Susan Tomaselli) with interviews with the likes of Tom Bradley and N Frank Daniel, a new music column from Peter Wild as well as reviews and features on all things alt-lit.

Also glad to report the pleasure of contributing a short story (and some fashion advice) to the latest issue of Beat the Dust, as introduced by editorial supremo Melissa Mann:

"...Beat the Dust is now LIVE and breaking obscenity laws from here to Wyoming - ha, well sort of. Yes, we threw down the gauntlet to the underground writing community in a bid to create a themed litzine issue to end all themed litzine issues. The result? Well it's definitely the most experimental edition of Beat the Dust, that's for damn sure. The pieces themselves or the circumstances of the writer, address the theme either literally or in more subtle ways. Hopefully part of the fun in reading this month's issue, will be working out the link to the theme. We've got poetry, short fiction and commentary from Karl Koweski, Tim Wells, Will Ashon, David E Oprava, Justin Hyde, Jeff North, Darran Anderson, David McLean, Misti Rainwater-Lites, Ford Dagenham, Travis Jeppesen, Kevin Williamson, Joolz Denby and the inspiration for the issue herself, Patti Smith. We also have a story told without words from documentary photographer, Neil White and words you can hear but can't see from singer-songwriter, Boo Hewerdine."
