Moments Tell - A new poem by Debra Ifill

something to love...

ANCIENT CHAMPION - stream it now, it's a hit!
Ancient Champion's A Song For Damian Marquez The Tailor - January 24th, 2020

Moments cross my mind with you

Abound up there.

- You run for spells,

Free to caress

The peculiar things

To hold them and

Shake them near your ear,

To see if the sound

Is a rattle, or a whistle or the ocean.

Place them

neatly where you found them

or steal a souvenir.

It's the moments that go missing

When I make the attic of my home my porch,

And leave you

Wandering without me,

Still listening for bells.

Debra Ifill

Debra lives in New York and is the coolest

something to love...

The Hip-Priest of the Hyperreal

Mark E. Smith emerges out of the dust of Baudrillard's demise with a new band, a new record and old wisdom

Heavy to the Molten Core

No Time Like the Present to Not Present Things

Sweet Procrastination - it is the frosting on the cake of indolence - but it keeps me from telling you about some really good records.

Is There a Possibility of Blowing Out My o-Ring?

Dear Girl gets to the bottom of anal sex (no pun intended) and the bikini line.

Radiohead: In Rainbows, Onto Darkness and Approaching Self-Actualization

Radiohead may have dismantled civilization as we know it, but a darker thing lurks among the rubble.

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]

UNDERWRITE OUTSIDELEFT with your PATRONAGE of these ART MUMBLINGS

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]
