Nameless Digest Vol 2-Issue 4: December 2019

NAMELESS #4 Published December 30, 2019--ABOUT NAMELESS--The intended goal of Nameless is to meld divergent (even challenging) critical perspectives on a variety of subjects -- fiction, music, art, film, social commentary -- and present them with the best content (literary, artistic, and, in the case of the website, multimedia) we can muster. Nameless was conceived from the outset as a thought-provoking biannual print periodical, as well as a year-round online destination for the intellectually adventurous. We strive to achieve this via the alchemy of innovative discourse, high production values, and rigorous editorial standards. Though the focus will always be on the macabre, weird, uncanny and esoteric, Nameless will also be a bastion for the under-appreciated idea, the unexplored possibility, the poorly understood concept. We are not a home for the pedestrian, the obvious, the common. It is a state of mind as much as anything, and as such is accepting of anyone that is curious, thoughtful and rational. The material in Nameless is wide-ranging and presented in an eye-catching manner. Each issue will vary as to theme, but will provide fascinating commentary on topical subjects, politics, science, criticism, philosophy, and reviews of current media. Nameless will engage subscribers/participants with fiction/poetry, interviews, memoirs, essays, multimedia (website only), artwork, reviews and more. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Edited by Jason V Brock++Published by Cycatrix Press+____________________________________________________________________ TABLE OF CONTENTS "Feed the Plow" by JG Faherty "She Paddles the Impossible Canoe" by Geoffrey W.
