Sleepy Whale # 29

Poet’s odoriferous flambeaus
Mingling Para- nymphs quadrupedal
Proscenium might connubial
Much is life in an Outhouse
My moon and my Sun
Bitter-milk quenched forever
Wit of the Septuagint
Dark forbearance
Assuefaction minarets atrocities
Pre-nativity and post-mortality
Ultimate’s multiplicity sub-soaker
Cavity of Chrystal Palace
Long-staldished vault
Black-crack of a mountain

Sleepy Whale #30

Much-what hell-prate pageantry
Natural hubbub noise
Topsy-turvy offspring phenomenon
Pick aback benignly
Biddeth sheet-lightning
Merry Coffee House
Old Crone’s waist coat’s pocket
Old nobody-daddy Poet
Chief play-actors tale
Maid wife abbess widow
Farmer’s cow house blessing
Coat of Gold
Father of the faithful
Cozening Dames and Damsels

Sleepy Whale # 31

Tea house Table Wine cork float
Left handed ungated ghost woman
Old whoremaster chap-book
Descendant crap raft
Cure of the very evil
Pie-bald Kitchen maid
Warmth of assurance
Small capsicum chilies
Little upon her elegance
Droll animadversions mimic
Storms of mirth gale of laughter
Antlers disorder feast day
Spry Dainty Trucker
Racked mature years

Sleepy Whale # 32

Birds of a feather laugh together
Tutelary angel seed fields
Giddy stone heaps of Butterflies
Ennobling squirmiching
Half tried to choke me
Forbidding Latin Poet
Short lived submersed
Distressing manner
Miscarried exotic trees
Scouring brush plow-share
Healer’s twilight sleep
Moon beam in hand
Celtic secret panel
Nocturnal sheer Manahan

From the Editor:

We hope that readers receive In Parentheses as a medium through which the evolution of human thought can be appreciated, nurtured and precipitated. It will present a dynamo of artistic expression, journalism, informal analysis of our daily world, entertainment of ideas considered lofty and criticism of today’s popular culture. The featured content does not follow any specific ideology except for that of intellectual expansion of the masses.

Founded in late 2011, In Parentheses prides itself upon analysis of the current condition of intelligence in the minds of these young people, and building a hypothesis for one looming question: what comes after Post-Modernism?

The idea for this magazine stems from a simple conversation regarding the aforementioned question, which drew out the need to identify our generation’s place in literary history.
