Read Issue 9
The Main Squeeze team is thrilled to present forty-six pieces in Volume 9 that awed us, dazed us, made us jump up from our seats or lay on the floor (sometimes both). From the visual arts of photography, collage, and physical and digital drawing to the writing arts of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction that eagerly avoid strict definition, the writing in this issue embraces everything language is and isn’t, to its vague divinity and sharp disregularity, the space it takes up in the mouth as well as the mind. These pieces speak to each other, to the object of art itself, and connect to the electric thread that is being alive.
Read Issue 8
Main Squeeze staff is honored to show the works of authors and artists who collectively show the ineffable breadth of this cherished responsibility we have on earth: to produce as much art as possible. Some of these works have suffered interdimensional voyages and were spliced between the cosmos, thus appearing so absent. Some were written under gallows, on top of numerous bison, papers thrown into inbox seconds before the end of the world. You ever seen relentless verse shoveled into the hungry air? We still love you.
