PostPoetry is a modern way for the generation of the 21st century to express itself. Texts can be like old scars and calluses, like blood and dirt. Or they can be melancholy, quirky, ironic or enlightening. They can dissolve existing boundaries and suggest new ones. They can make us question our beliefs about what writing can do. Texts can champion social justice and human rights, war and psychological violence, giving rise to provocative or soothing thoughts. And if they don't entertain, they should at least make us laugh or cry. Or both. The PostPoetry mission is to cull the submissions we receive into a printed collection that will stay with you long after you read it, a collection you'll return to again and again. We're a print journal. Which, of course, doesn't make us better than online journals, but we like the fact that our contributors' work appears in a pleasant magazine that, between readings, will grace perhaps hundreds of bookshelves and coffee tables. The PP Mag doesn't set thematic limits. Texts and pictures will be collected and arranged in an appropriate aesthetic form in the printed magazine. The web presence can be your point of orientation ? the pictures and texts that you find under the category of ?samples? are a little glimpse of what you'll find in the printed version of the PP Mag. The PP Mag is bilingual: available in English and German. (We will publish English as well as German texts and translations.) Topics aren't compressed, allowing you to say what you have to say. PostPoetry want to join the play of your thoughts. This is the only way PostPoetry can react to impulses and present events.
