Free Word Press

The Free Word Press Issue Six December 1999 PRINCIPIUS Hey everyone, sorry this issue is so behind. I was under the delusion that the FWP has to be a certain way, and I was waiting for this issue to become that. It didn't, I was wrong, my disillusion is complete. My first action was to dispose of the PDF version. As it is, I do countless hours of writing for this thing. If you want me to spend countless hours on layout as well, at least do some of the writing for me. Second of all, I will no longer require each issue to have reviews, a conclusion, a Literary Regurgitation, etc. So what you have may be slimmer, but its sure is a hell o...

THE FREE WORD PRESS Volume One - Issue Five October 1999 fwp@freewordpress.com / http://www.freewordpress.com Also available in www and pdf flavors PRECURSOR! II. Blank pages inside are sometimes born or hatched to fill the need for emptiness or simply lack of will; a aquired heart can't replace the pump that was lost during the Great War but the empty places laught quietly as if to say, `this was expected' with the raising of the storm jib. An inquiry into the nature of anger was thrown on canvas like vomit, its parts dissected, the theories written: fear of the unknown, the unthought-of. Birds unknown were brought do...

THE FREE WORD PRESS Volume One - Issue Four September 1999 fwp@freewordpress.com / http://www.freewordpress.com Also available in www and pdf flavors PRECLUSION! In the interest of arousing your interest in this exceptionally interesting issue, I shall present to you a syllogism, for your pleasure. Berate me not that it is naught but a twisted fallacy, a stark manipulation of words and wisdom, and, indeed, the logic of which it itself is constituted. Note the lack of mention of Ray Charles, as well as my sly lack of use of post hoc ergo propter hoc; sly, that is, because you won't get to say the infamously smartass 'ha...

THE FREE WORD PRESS Volume One - Issue Three August 1999 fwp@freewordpress.com / http://www.freewordpress.com Also available in www and pdf flavors PROEM! I went to a casino once. It might have been in Baton Rouge, but I can't be sure. It was huge, of course. It was glittering, surely. It was tempting, most definitely. I was underage, undeniably - thanks to nature's great sense of humor. But I was inside anyway. Of course it was daytime and very, very empty. All I remember was this huge American flag on one wall. At the time I thought it was to remind everyone who was profiting from the whole gambling scene. It must ha...

THE FREE WORD PRESS Volume One - Issue Two July 1999 fwp@freewordpress.com / http://www.freewordpress.com Also available in www and pdf flavors Prelude Whats the significance of the number two? None whatsoever. Nothing more than any other number, I mean. But every number, in a certain context, has its own, albeit temporary, significance. As does anything, I suppose. Back to the number two. This is the Free Word Press, and in this issue, there are no references to mathematics. But we are an equal opportunity publisher, so I'll add one. Two points define a line. By that I mean that there is only one possible line that can be...

THE FREE WORD PRESS Volume One - Issue One June 1999 fwp@cafemagnolia.com http://www.look.at/freewordpress ELSEWHERE The Free Word: coaxed from fools, stolen from liars, nipped from the lips of the wise, and yet here I am, front page. Yet where else should I be? Forgive my intrusion into your indisputably pleasant lifestyle, but, as Nietzsche proclaimed shamelessly: "To make my readers uncomfortable: that is my goal." In the spirit of such spite, then, I present to you the Free Word Press. Fearlessly I sally forth into the world of the digital darkness of binary bits, though not for the first nor last time, to be sure. Thankfu...
