All who have submitted, thanks for bearing with us - all responses are very delayed - one could say the beast writhes, decayed, near absent body, in the sludge of an unspeakable pit

read the striking "Home alone" by Vytenis Bagdonas @bagvyt Bagdonas generates an amazing intensity of memory and image here, with details energizing commentary - we loved it, and the dark-dwelling insects too, of course https://t.co/WsKUYbm1Mh

Alan Bern's photo-haiga in @ZinDaily! "... I capture moments, sometimes with the camera on my phone, sometimes with a few words, and sometimes with both... And, yes, it’s often awfully familiar, but there is always something new to see..." https://t.co/qePGMVFgPQ

"Rats Live on No Evil Star" by Mike Bove A sweet poem about child-rearing, anxiety and a very evocative palindrome. The rats are the little fleeting custodians of our dreams. A piece of memory and change. https://t.co/TeOyc24MRj

Read and love (as we did) Chella Courington's poems - personal and narrative, they generate a jewel-like reality that allows for intensified cataclysm "Clouds" and "Close to the Edge" https://t.co/ugzhxDbeAC

"MISSIVE TO MY CHILDREN" and "CLATTER OF BLISS" by Ismail Junaid Oluwadamilare @IsmailJunaidOl1 Thundering language of metaphysical suffering, triumph and warfare - poems acting as incantations and expansions of the personal into cosmic battle https://t.co/u8UpZ63SDX

"The coming resort of the world" and "114,901 acres" by Glenn Bach @AtlasCorpus incredible world-poetry that describes an "Atlas" through scenes of environmental change, expansion, the hungry and terrified spirit-beast of development striding around https://t.co/EZnEaOjpId

Read "Body Count" and "Lucy Terry Prince" by Elizabeth Upshur @Lizzy5by5 in Issue 4 Love these poems that intensely engage with the concept of history - as a personal, scattering, violent concept, redeemed by the possibility of communion through story https://t.co/jnvnKwfntI

Language battles its own abstraction - "Be Radha, She Wrote On The Back" by Kushal Poddar - emotion narrative inflamed by cosmic imagery, read it! Very good intensification of substance w/ sleeves of myth-images https://t.co/htXwfH00Mz

Going to try this newsletter thing. About to send out some flustered thoughts (a rant!) + praise for Issue 4 contributors Will be more personal, but, potentially, ill-advised🦺 Subscribe here https://t.co/iJ4yQjfdd2

Loved the short fiction / flash horror of Steven Hendrix in Issue 4 work that is calmly, coldly estranging (we at Slouching Beast are addicted to estrangement) read "I took the elevator down..." and "My pen falls from my hand..." https://t.co/VYRdnMwenI (repost bc of error)

"A WOLF IN THE HEAD" and "PLEASE PASS WHAT HE SAID" by Alan Bern https://t.co/a769tVefmB Atmospherics of panic, delirium, fear, predation + breakdown of language. Bern's pieces immediately transmit the reader into a specific perception / interior world.

Read "Beyond the Flesh" by Seungbihn Park https://t.co/5krZ4pNdi7 Park's poems are vivid, reflective and sometimes brutally violent - voice projected into the communal drift of consciousness, and the intensity of life taken.
