Always Crashing Issue One

Always Crashing is a magazine of fiction poetry and nameless things around and in-between. We are interested in surfaces and form in works that seek something via untruth fantasy artificiality the plastic deep superficiality and attention to their own construction. We are interested in writing that strikes curious poses; in the experimental not as an avant-garde but as a furthering of a subterranean literary tradition. We are interested ultimately in the aesthetic: the beautiful and the sublime sure but also the boring the dumb the merely interesting the zany the disgusting the cute--particularly when pushed into strange and unfamiliar territories.Issue One contains: Elise Blackwell Leap into the VoidChristian TeBordo The Star Thrower-ThrowerMatthew Kosinski Always a Tank and Pocketmouth / BirdtalkMichael Martone BOOM and BOOMeghan Lamb All Your Most Private PlacesDan Brady Like a Shadow and He Said She SaidGabriel Blackwell Fact-Checking and Wittenstein Reads The Varieties of Religious ExperienceAnne K.
