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
February Issue 0215
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!
