Episode 16 « In Between Altered States

Episode 16 « In Between Altered States.

from the editor
This episode feels pretty heavy on the feline to me and as I type this the cat is digging his claws in my leg trying to get me to extend my foot so he can use me as his nightly fetish. Yeah, this episode is sort of going to go like that. Episode 16 is running around in a dream about all things artificial…this takes on whatever meaning depending on the writer and that is the way we like it here at In Between Altered States. I would like to welcome back David Haase and Melanie Browne who have contributed before and give a big huzzah for newcomers: David Tomaloff, Andrew J. Stone, James Kowalczyk, Kevin Ridgeway and Sherri Collins.
If this is your first time wandering over to IBAS then I suggest that you read the stories in a row from the first one to the last one because this website is designed to provide you a series of dreams that run into one another in some way or fashion. Then when you are done, feel free to go back and read your favorites. Thank you for stopping by.

Primal Urge Magazine Call for Submissions

THE DEAL - Primal Urge Magazine call for poetry submissions: Here’s the deal, the publisher gives six to eight pages for poems. We run two featured poets on two to three pages each. Whatever pages are left over we run in “One Offs” – one or two poems each from several poets. The rules: Don’t send any spiritual stuff. If you talk to God you don’t need to talk to us. Don’t send epic poems. Shorter is better. Alice’s Restaurant has already topped the charts once. That’s enough. The best thing to do is look at an old issue of the Urge: http://www.primal-urge-magazine.com/. We lean toward “Meat,” “Street,” “After Hours” and the occasional political poem. Don’t tell us about dead-burnt-bodies or regurgitate the daily news. We want your secrets – surprise us. Bring something fresh to the page. We want to smell the perfume, taste the lipstick and know why hearts beat – and sometimes bleed. Okay, send three to five poems to our poetry editor, Bill Gainer at: wsgainer@comcast.net. Put “Primal Urge Submissions” in the subject line. If you don’t hear from us before the next issue, there’s a good chance you won't.
