Kill Your Darlings
Despite its title, there's very little actual or suggested violence between the covers of Kill Your Darlings. Unless you count Gideon Haigh's point-blank assassination of Australian book reviews.
Named for William Faulkner's oft-quoted advice to writers to 'ruthlessly cut out that which doesn't serve a purpose', the brand new fully independent local journal is neatly segmented into Commentary, Fiction, Interview and Review, assisting reader and writer alike.
Five Dials
Issue 11 of Five Dials begins with a note on lists, and how useful they can be as effective slices of biography, hinting at what's going on in a person's life at the time of list writing.
If I showed you my current list you might dislocate your jaw from yawning so hard ("Remove apostrophe from 'you're'", "Change photo background to white") so I thought instead I'd write a list of the things that went through my head while reading Five Dials:
1) Heh.
Tiny Vices Books
We live in tiny apartments on tiny budgets. We can't afford giant works of art selling for giant sums of money.
What we can afford are small, beautifully crafted books and zines, cataloguing more works of art in a six-inch stretch of bookshelf than we could ever afford in wall space. Though more expensive than a Whopper value meal, as far as luxury goes, these are our "tiny" vices.
Beef Knuckles
Some zines make me want to tear my glasses off and spit straight-up fury into the face of their maker. "It's HORRIBLE!" I want to cry, "Stop bruising my soul with your pseudo-anarchic, floppy, badly stapled waste!"
I don't though. Instead, like a good citizen, I squeeze that rage right down inside and simply hope that one day the next stall along will offer salvation.
