Re: Leaves for Art -Regenerating the Literature of Symbolism
 

Thanks Simon,

As of the moment several people on this site have very kindly stepped forward and offered their assistance with translation.

I really should post about the journal elsewhere, just feel a little diffident about too much self-advertising

Re: Leaves for Art -Regenerating the Literature of Symbolism
 

Self-advertising is the only advertising you'll get, so you best make your peace with it.

You're probably fine if you blitz the announcement everywhere. It'll be considered news. If you blitz subsequent updates, however, it might get to be too much. Until the journal is released, of course. Then, blitz away again!

This sounds like an enthralling project!!

Re: Leaves for Art -Regenerating the Literature of Symbolism
 

Thanks for the kind words Wilum.

We've had a couple of short story submissions, some of them interesting, but nothing especially suitable as yet. Ow well still early days... There's a couple of authors who regularly contribute to anthologies who I would ideally like to get a fiction piece from but, again, I'm hesitant to ask direct.

Important note: if anyone has tried to contact Mark be aware his email address has recently changed. Please PM me if you need the new one.

The rest of the site shall follow shortly but, as of today and with due gratitude to its designer, the journal webpage is now officially online:

Sacrum Regnum

As can be seen there have been a few changes, the most important of which is that the publication has been retitled Sacrum Regnum as we felt the old title, Leaves for Art, lacked a certain elegance. We have also decided to extend the submissions deadline for the first issue to the end of January, since only a limited number of people will have seen about the publication till now.

There are a few problems to to be fixed (header typo!) but more will be revealed over the course of the next few weeks. As before thanks to Dan Ghetu for distributing the original form as an email and for providing the photograph.

Superb!

Re: Leaves for Art -Regenerating the Literature of Symbolism
 

I'm not sure I understand what you don't want. Could you provide the names of a few authors whose work from "Nothing's Empire" that you are not interested in. Thank you.

Re: Leaves for Art -Regenerating the Literature of Symbolism
 

Nothing's Empire?
Sounds like the place to be. I hope it's sufficiently fortified against the degenerate creation, so that when one goes there one will never be brought back. Ever.

Re: Leaves for Art -Regenerating the Literature of Symbolism
 

Suffice for the moment to say we do not care for 'shudder pulps' nor the Dominion of high-school Americana both radical spaghetti monster and small town wholesome - King and Meyers are below contempt; the great proletarian paperback horror novel; the hard drinkin' heroes of modern Lovecraftiana; the sickly sweetness of mid-western childhood; modern, gritty, urban fiction of the sub Campbellian variety nor post feminist fairy-tales.

That phrase originated from something else I was writing, though thinking about it it has airs of Tibet's This Autistic Imperium ist Nihil Reich.

This looks fantastic, Evans. I'm hoping to submit if I can conjure something suitable.
