Author Description

Swagazine is a semi-quarterly publication focusing on prose and poetry both as art forms and entertainment media. Social, philosophical and liberal political themes are dealt with, but not in a way that mimics news magazines or purely didactic writing. It is not our goal to educate our readers; we presume they are already educated. Here we examine the dynamic relationship between the mind and the voice; between the conscience of people and the standards of mass society; between the message of the endangered individual and the moronic giant of popular opinion. This issue deals with paternal/family relationships, love, loss, self-healing, sci-fi, humor, and all things in between.
