slips slips & slips slips: blips blips
newsprint on my fingers & love in my heart...the first issue of slips slips..."a clamor of voices and subjects, a reckless laboratory, a community on paper"
Welcome to Vera Monstera! Movement is everywhere. Step into an embodied world where life springs from the power of play and slow-osity. What’s that? It’s like velocity, but instead of speeding in one direction, we dive into spacious, internal rhythms. No destinations, but lots of sights to see. It means the world that you’re here!
Subscribing for FREE helps bring visibility to these hidden moments in movement. And it helps Vera Monstera grow.
I can’t tell you what a thrill it is to hold a giant paper up to my face and crisply shake it professorially. Actually, I can. I can tell you. It’s a thrill!
Allow me to introduce you to slips slips, “an irregular publication of words and images, a clamor of voices and subjects, a reckless laboratory, a community on paper, published and edited by Hope Cartelli, Kristen Leigh, and Jeff Lewonczyk.”
Any publication who aims to be a “reckless laboratory” sounds like a boatload of fun. I am honored that my piece “The Clang” is included in their first issue.
slips slips is a print publication. If you’d like a free copy, send me a message and I’ll send you some snail mail! You can also find behind-the-scenes ephemera and creator interviews on Substack: slips slips: blips blips.
And attention writers and artists! The editors of slips slips are seeking work for their second issue titled “dispatches” (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, humor, illustration and cartoons). Submissions are open on their website: slipsslips.net.
