Included in here are: John Mejias, Andy Bodor, Peter Maddalena, Meredith Gaydosh, Zak Smith, Drew Gold, Sean McCarthy, and Jeff Lewis. There&#8217;s a nice variety of stuff in here. Mostly quiet, introspective pieces with a few louder ones thrown in. By &#8220;loud&#8221; I mean the sci-fi piece by Jeff Lewis about the liberation of the rocks and Octopus Girl by Zak Smith. Other than that there&#8217;s making the perfect pop song, being pimped out by your Mom while she&#8217;s in withdrawal, the different kinds of art class, and a warning of the apocalypse. A nice, balanced collection, the only real problem I had with it was that my copy was awfully dark, meaning that some of the dialogue was lost in the murk. Probably a problem with the copy machine more than anything, but I thought I&#8217;d throw something negative in. <a href=\"mailto:speedymyshka@aol.com\">E-mail the man<\/a>, there are back issues around too, if you like this one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/paping82.bmp\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"509\" height=\"618\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website\u00c2\u00a0(down as of 4\/2\/10, no other info) Paping #8 Here&#8217;s a thoughtful anthology from New York.
