Words – in the shape of fiction, essays, poetry
Visions – drawings, photography and visual projects
The Blender – where words and visions cross paths

We update (nearly) daily, established and unknown writers alike.

Burner Magazine

Burner Magazine

Burner is that girl. She's witty, pretty, and doesn't dumb herself down. By day, she's a kindergarten teacher and by night, dances gogo. Inspired by fellow revolutionaries from John Lennon to Virginia Woolf, she's a muse and amusing, compelling and never complacent. The Burner girl gets hot and bothered by the Marquis de Lafayette, aspires to redefine the zeitgeist like Nietzsche, and provokes thought like Margaret Atwood.

Carcinogenic Poetry

Carcinogenic Poetry is interested in verse containing quaities of truth derived from the human soul; bold, creative, brave. The truth is to lies like cancer.
