Editorial:
To be held within the bounds of the edifice, safe within the comforts of the expected structure.Stoke up the fire, place one’s feet on the rug, light the pipe. But the fire is polluting the air, the rug is seal skin, and the tobacco is cancerous.
A meeting of distinguish editors, the topic, an exciting series of fiction works by new writers, the daring decision: the works must be good and have a market. The great good. The great market. The art critic spends an entire column discussing the formalistic merits of an etching.
So IMPULSE has no other choice in the North American climate of mercantile conservatism but to produce itself as change. To slide.
Yesterday’s mistakes are a quiet growth over the edifice’s senses, as ivy over the ivory tower.
So we will attempt to be what we haven’t been before.
You go to your newsstand, you open your mail and here is the magazine you didn’t expect to be this incarnation of a magazine. Which is what we plan to do for the future, to do what you haven’t anticipated.
For the time being we will be more difficult to locate. But all you need to do is look.
We want to be poetic but still read today’s news.
Eldon Garnet
