Our poem, F L A T L A N D, was published in the Summer 2010 issue of Island Writer magazine.

F l a t l a n d
by Garth Von Buchholz

To resist the op(press)ion
of the two (dement)sional flatland world of glossy magazines,
I have (ob)seen women

Mutilate their forearms with deep(er) strokes of a razor
So that they may prove with their b(lo)ody
To themselves and their (conf)users
That their image (has depth)

Has depth (their image 
Has depth).

We have been signed on as a regular book reviewer for the New York Journal of Books. 

Our first review was published in February this year, and we will be publishing about
2-3 reviews a month from now on.   

To have a reviewer assigned to your book, please email editor Ted Sturtz. 

Our new story, Make Mad the Roaring Winds (the title is from a poem by William Blake), is almost finished, and will probably be the longest short story we’ve ever written.  

It’s a dark science fiction tale about a man’s lonely journey from Earth to Jupiter in a small ship, a maddening voyage where he has spent nearly three years in the solitude of space.  

We will be submitting it to Clarkesworld, so we will keep you posted.

Ballet Victoria's Andrea Bayne and Paul Destrooper in the Belong pas de deux

Read our review of Ballet Victoria’s new production, The Secret Garden and Selected Works, published in The Dance Current, Canada’s dance magazine.

We are pleased to announce that our short story, Thirst of a Thousand, which was written earlier this year, will be published in Issue #4 of Sex and Murder.

Thirst of a Thousand is about a young college girl named September who has an unusual — and erotic — thirst for blood. Her explorations and liaisons lead her deeper and deeper into a black chasm of bloodlust and violence.

We wrote Thirst of a Thousand as a somewhat different take on the “vampire” phenomenon in popular literature. In this story, the word “vampire” is only uttered once, and only in reference to a work of art by Edvard Munch.
