The Door of the Soul: Postcard From Tuscia

by Linda Lappin

Postcard

D.H. Lawrence returned to Italy in 1927 after a soul-searching journey through Mexico, the American Southwest, Ceylon, Australia, and New Zealand. Gravely ill with tuberculosis, unaware of how little time he had left (he died three years later at the age of 44), Lawrence sought an ideal land where he might flourish as a "whole man alive" and find an antidote for the alienation of industrialized society.

Forge

Forge

Without restricting ourselves to a particular genre, media, or theme, we aim to publish interesting, quality works, and every issue has a unique flavour.

Each of our two General Editors takes ownership of at least one issue per year, acting as the chief editor (or Uber-editor) for a particular issue, and leaves one issue per year open for a Guest Editor to act as Uber-editor.  This is just one more way in which Forge celebrates the diversity of contributors while exercising our own unique style, issue by issue.

Mat Black Online Magazine

The pieces that give us chills, the pieces that make us step back and think about our surroundings, those are the ones we are looking for. Make us laugh, make us cry, make us fear death. Hell, make us want to die. Love, hate, hope, irony, depression—life has many feelings and emotions. What makes you feel these things? We want to read something that proves to us that the human brain is still worth something. Or maybe it is worth nothing.
