Always Crashing Issue One

<p><em>Always Crashing</em> 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.</p><p>Issue One contains:</p><p>Elise Blackwell "Leap into the Void"</p><p>Christian TeBordo "The Star Thrower-Thrower"</p><p>Matthew Kosinski "Always a Tank" and "Pocketmouth / Birdtalk"</p><p>Michael Martone "BOOM" and "BOO"</p><p>Meghan Lamb "All Your Most Private Places"</p><p>Dan Brady "Like a Shadow" and "He Said She Said"</p><p>Gabriel Blackwell "Fact-Checking" and "Wittenstein Reads <em>The Varieties of Religious Experience</em>"</p><p>Anne K.
