It says: "less is more."

The Photography of Jon Rendell

Tuna
Les Marcott | Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.com
Those of a certain age will remember those classic tuna fish commercials of the 60's and 70's. The taglines being, "What's the best tuna? Chicken of the Sea" and "Sorry Charlie."
Les Marcott

Call It Hope
Gregory Luce | Scene4 MagazineCall Me Spes is one of the most remarkable books of poetry I've read in quite a long while. Sara Cahill Marron has invented a new poetic language to lead us through the modern-day technological Inferno.
Gregory Luce

Homage to Greg LeMond
Patrick Walsh | Scene4 MagazineOften I find myself writing a heap of posthumous praise on someone I've admired. Now it's July and that means the Tour de France, so I want to celebrate a hero of mine who is still with us.
Patrick Walsh

A Lot You've Wanted to Know
About Kandinsky and Theatre

Kandinsky wasn't so interested in things we can see as in what was between them, or in and around them.
Kiril Bolotnikov and Lissa Tyler Renaud

My Friend, the Minotaur/ Part Two
 There is little reason to apologize to an entity that does not exist, but, even in the labyrinth of mirrors, the false self needs a cast of supporting actors.

Brian George
