>It wouldn't amaze me one bit if the same guy who had a hardon for going after nocturnes showed up latter to go after us.
I don't understand what you're telling me.

>As for "personal vision", most of what you've suggested is armchair expertise with no practical basis
I've lead a multimedia zine for a smaller offshoot imageboard, I killed it after 3 issues but I've done some amateur physical anthologies in the past as well.

>We don't have the 1) time 2) money 3) renown to simply reshape things as we wish.
Yes, you do. Every decision made is an act of curation, the problem is you don't have any overarching idea for the decisions made to follow. There is no direction.

>For visual design, I'd be happy to hear from you suggestions even if you don't have time to particularly carry them out.
Find a competent, willing designer is my suggestion. Don't accept shit from incompetent designers (or your incompetent photographer and knitter). It's not hard to steal simple design from other magazines instead of flailing around ignorantly. I meant that I didn't have time to be a consultant, not that I had no time to design your stuff. I'm not a competent graphic designer.

>The only "vision" I have for this is creating an open organization of volunteers where work is shared jointly and everyone productive gets a shot at inclusion.
Why would anyone want to read this? Why would you want to make this?
The answer would be "you wouldn't" because that's not your vision. You're clearly focusing on /lit/ which is directly relevant to submissions you get, the content you publish. The method of distribution is also relevant.

You clearly do not think much about how the magazine is directed. What do you consider your role? It sounds like there is no one at the top, maybe you should look for someone who will make it their own.
At least gather up your crew and collectively decide a specific manifesto of what you're all striving for with the project. What's yes, what's no.

I liked it. I think the semicolon might be used incorrectly, it feels odd. The flow is a little disjointed at the second to last line, the rhyme doesn't feel so natural, looks like you forced it to be shortened. sublime sensations is a bit cheesy and I would've replaced 'trump' with a different word that doesn't start with 't' or 's' because it kind of messese with the alliteration.

It's pretty good though, not bad at all.
Actually worth reading?
Well if I picked up a poetry collection and flipped to a random page and read this poem, I'd put the book back down.

I don't really write poetry but here's a string of texts i sent a friend (while on the psychedelic 25i-nbome, if that's relevant) the other night, if that counts:

I'm going to throw up
all over this recording booth.
I have beer in her backpack
but I am not allowed.
I AM NOT ALLOWED.
they are recording a song
about something that I am unconcerned with.

I do NOT see a reason why I can
not drink myself to pieces.
they are talking of things that I am
not concerned with.
I AM NOT ALLOWED

and I do not want to be here
I want to be involved with cum
and spit like I was an hour or so ago.
but I am not allowed!

THEY WANT TO POOL PARTY
