Gluck and Vika set out to right wrongs on an incredible quest…how ridiculous is that? Can they suspend their own disbelief long enough to get this show on the road?

On November 13, 2022, Caesura editors Gabriel Almeida and Patrick Zapien hosted a live-streamed conversation with Bristol-based painter David Abbott.

On the occasion of her first solo show with Make Room gallery, “A Tangle of Limbs and Long Hair,” Caesura editor Patrick Zapien conducted a brief interview with artist Shana Hoehn. A selection of work from the show follows.

Our story continues with an update from our divine creator, God! Ever wonder how humanity has lasted as long as it has? God has the answer!

Passing wounds in different studies of light, scabbed on the vast walls of daughters, the world spins inside itself, as a liquid over the plains, over Holy Lands and sacrificial slabs, over citrus peel and sumac-stained hands, over raised sardine fishing boats built with the nails that crucify father to son.

Harris Wheless reviews Damion Searls’ new translation of André Gide’s “Marshlands.”

Being alone in the middle of the woods is a strong catalyst for agreeing to go on an adventure, as Gluck learns all too well! Carnival is over: what does Lent have in store for Gluck and Vika?

Four poems from Émile Verhaeren’s Tentacular Cities (1895) translated from the French by Jacob Siefring.

After Gluck refuses Vika’s call to adventure, the storytelling gal proves herself a woman of her word. While he gets dressed, our hero realizes he might want to reconsider that decision…

Vika tells of her tragic life, a life all too common in the 16th-century Netherlands. Will Gluck’s heart be swayed by her tale, or will he remain as jaded as ever?

God bless us, everyone!

Seven poems by Francisco Segovia translated by Katherine Silver, with artwork by Carolie Parker.

Meet Vika, Gluck’s heretofore unknown savior! She’s led quite a life, and she’s going to make sure Gluck hears all about it!

And so the X-Mas Carol winds down to a close: all evil cast into the pit, our heroes exhausted but victorious. Still, something remains to be said…but who will say it?

Imagine being beaten by soldiers. Now imagine being hungover. Now imagine being naked and lost in the woods. Now imagine you’re a 16th-century fool. Can’t? Don’t worry: we imagined it for you!

Off with his head! Rooge takes a big weight off his shoulders as our heroes watch on with glee. Is this the final fate of the horrible humbug?

Wok! Paf! Kabong! Action-packed is an understatement when it comes to blows in the Renaissance!

An execution is nothing without decorum. However, in S.C. Rooge’s case, Zuggy and Kathy are willing to make an exception!
