KWEE Liberian Literary Magazine Jan. Iss. Vol. 0115 Apr Iss. Vol. 0415 | Page 5

Liberian Literary Magazine Editor’s Desk The Year Ahead 2016 is swinging and thus far, things are on the up. This is our first issue and I am excited for many reasons. We have an improved line up, some segments have changed and others shifted, whilst yet others are, well, NEW. It appears that we might outdo ourselves this time around. Each issue, we see a better KWEE and for that we remain thank to you. Yes you. All of you that have stayed by us, that take time off to read and support us in the different ways you do. Thank you once again. I will try to let nothing out of the bag too early, although I can’t promise. The excitement is too much to contain. Oh here is a teaser, but I’d deny it if quoted ! Oops, did I just type that? There goes my plausible deniability. Anyways, I’m one that likes my bad and not so good news first, that way, I can enjoy the good ones. So April Issue 0415 here it goes. Our hot corner Kulubah’s Korner by our sharp wit KLM will not be with us for a while. Sad right? Don’t worry, she’s not gone yet, trust me, she is on a refresher and will be back with more of her insightful, but truthful opinion bites. Quite frankly, am I the only one who thinks that at times she’s just meddling  [-I’m whispering here-]? We will miss you KLM, please hurry back. We’d also be shifting some of the segments to the blog exclusively. Yeah, we know, but we wish to keep the magazine closely aligned to its conception- a literary mag. You will not lose your segments, they will only be shifted. The blog is also attached to the new website so you don’t have to go anywhere else to access it. it is the last page of the site- KWEE. We have new segments hosted by poets and authors from all over the world. “I ain’t sayin nothin’ more” as my grandmamma used to say. You’d have to read these yourself won’t say a thing more. The Poetry section is our major hotspot. It is a fine example of how KWEE manages to be true to her desire of giving you the best form of creative diversity. We have new poets still finding their voices placed alongside much more experienced poets who have long ago established themselves and found their 5 voice. They in a way mentor the newer ones and boost their confidence. In Unscripted, as the name suggests, Cher gives it raw. The artist, the poet, the writer-anyone of her talented side can show up and mix the science geek. You never know really what will come up until it does. Richard Moss goes about his randomness with purpose in his poetry corner, ‘Twas Brillig. He can assume the mind or body of any of his million personifications, ideas or characters or just be himself and write good poetry. I am sure you know what to expect there. Well, I knew I said only tips I was giving but it is just hard to contain myself considering all the things that are in store. If there is one message you want to take from here, let it be this-prepare for a roller-coaster this 2016. We are bringing you a better KWEE every single issue. We will break the boxes, go on the fringes to find what it is we know you would love…. Creative Difference- the best of its kind. From the entire team here at KWEE, we say enjoy the year, sit back, lay back, relax or do whatever it is you do when you hold a copy of our mag and feast along. Read! Read! Read! KWEE Team
