What if I said / I will never / talk to stone / brush grown to a golden / edge needs sing all night / who care?

Jessa Crispin reflects on the 2021 Philadelphia Film Festival.

Barry Schwabsky brings us Alberto Savinio's memories of the poet and painter Max Jacob.

Juggling realities mix and combine, spreading beyond the juggler to Casper and Fauntleroy! Will they be forever changed, or can sure footing be rediscovered?

Deeper down the Christmas rabbit hole we go! Our helpful heroes produce a pamphlet to explain the strange scam that ghosts use at the most wonderful time of the year. Beware coincidences!

In my solitude / I’m stripped bare, but now / you’re here too, to some degree.

You thought this juggler was on the level? You were right! You thought this juggler was on OUR level? You were dead wrong! Transformations abound…or do they?

The plot thickens, or should we say…chickens?! From a distant van our ghost story expands beyond the future and into the unexplored realms of the imagination. How deep does it go? Only one way to find out!

Personally, I associate Satie’s work with a feeling of the aridity that Nietzsche came to value over Wagnerism — the gentle sea-breeze in the highest mountains that wafts in from some strange land and tickles the senses with possibilities of spiritual freedom.

When the class that, unbeknownst to our age, we continue to attend, truly reaches its end, night falls on the self. What’s the use of clarifying it, full of tears?

“Ah, but what if we — [gestures at the ‘painting’] what if it — were to invite nonsense…embrace nonsense…produce nonsense…even mean nonsense?”

This guy sure has a knack for juggling! Casper and Fauntleroy continue to admire the skills of a skilled performer. If you were them, you’d do the same!

Disaster is averted…for now. Though Zuggy and Kathy’s skills should have never been in doubt, something lurks around the corner in their future. Something festive this way comes!

Casper and Fauntleroy are back! The heroes of Will Schreitz’s landmark strip are off to see a very talented juggler. Where this humble visit will take them is anyone’s guess!

When Zuggy and Kathy said they were professionals, they weren’t bluffing! What new dangers await our heroes when they encounter miscalibrated containment lasers?

We seek to utilize the force of our creative ability to fashion a world of our own or thereby change that which is given.

If two ghost investigators showed up at your house telling you your life was in danger, would you be worried or confident? It all depends on whether or not you have a containment field generator!

NFTs are the next stage in cultural phenomena the Caesura founding editors have been following for more than a decade.

An excerpt from Losarc Raal’s quasi-novella No Material, forthcoming from Black Sun Lit in 2023

Zuggy and Kathy are on the case as the yuletide plot thickens. Let’s hope they’re better at investigating ghosts than they are at spelling!
