I heard the news of Gil Scott-Heron’s death while visiting friends in New York. We spent much of our evenings waxing intoxicated under the violet canopy of early mornings, yelling and laughing, talking The Watts Prophets and Melvin Van Peebles, bumping jazz and hip-hop, falling silent and being silent, listening to Jamie xx’s remix record of Scott-Heron’s latest and last effort, I’m New Here. Our own peculiar brand of mourning.
We are a collective of writers with varied interests and concerns, bound together by our undertaking of the essai in its ancient form as an exercise of the self.
For that reason we focus our efforts on a broad range of topics spanning the creative, political, strange, and everyday endeavors of human life. We find no small object too banal for our meditations; no topic too fantastic for our methodical entertainment; no belief too obvious for our questioning.
Our editorial policy, such that is stands, mirrors the views and impulses of our writers. The content may change as quickly as our own restless natures; and in fact, we encourage it.
