Sapphic Writers Collective Issue #4 a Note from the Editors Out Of the Wardrobe Sapphic Writers Collective Issue #4 A note from the editors... Sapphic Writers has been around almost a year now, and in our last few zines, we’ve published dozens of wonderful pieces celebrating sapphic love, holding space for family, friends, and community, and dreaming of the radical new world we want to help build as lockdowns begin to lift. In this issue, we thought we’d do something a little different. Here, we invited our writers to open the portal, pass through the back end of the wardrobe into sapphic country, and explore ‘fantasy’ both as genre and concept. We asked for work set in worlds that aren’t quite this one: the worlds you dream of, fear, escape to, and bring back treasures from. We wanted to hear about the portals you stood on the threshold of, and the thresholds you’ve crossed. In the process of making this zine, we discovered that a number of members of our online community were either already writing fantasy or eager to give a new genre a try, and we held fantasy-specific online meet- ups to talk about world-building and brainstorm ideas for future novels. In the final product, we bring you helpful magical items for trans Dungeons and Dragons characters; a piece about Medusa’s girlfriend; love poems to nymphs and mysterious, magical butches; and a lesbian elf-human wedding. We hope you enjoy reading these flights of sapphistry as much as we enjoyed compiling them! Love, The Sapphic Writers team About Us Sapphic Writers is a small writing organisation that provides avenues of support, connection, and inspiration within the global sapphic writing community by offering workshops, publication and performance opportunities, and news and resources aimed at this underserved community of writers. With a team of exclusively sapphics, we work with sapphics only - which encompasses lesbians, bisexual, pansexual and queer women and non binary people who experience attraction towards people with similar identities - this includes asexual sapphics who experience romantic attraction. You can read more about different definitions of ‘sapphic’ in this blog post, written by one of our wonderful core team members. We are fully inclusive and supportive of trans women and non binary people, and happily welcome them into our work. Find us at sapphicwriters.squarespace.com to see a calendar of our upcoming meetups, sign up for our newsletter, and take a look at our growing zine collection!

The Witching Hour by Ally Fowler Meet me at the Sabbath, darling. I’m going to make you a dreamscape, a fleet-footed-scene escape, and I’ll hold you until you don’t hurt. I’m going to show you magic, cup your palms around it, hold your knuckles to my mouth. Breathe in the sweat of your efforts and weave flowers into your dresses by the light of the moon. Violets for a girl and a girl. Ivy for the fidelitous. Lavender love spells and bouquets spilling over with carnations. This is the witching hour. This is the hourglass and the solar plexus. Soft mouth ‘til morning and identical grins and I’ll spin you until your arches ache. Tangled in cotton as moonlight drifts through glass, until the sun’s illumination sends me back to watch from where you can’t follow. Separated by the mystic veil. I’ll love you even through the lightness. I conjure a petal, red for remembrance, and leave it on your pillow, catching the dust motes. When I am gone, I watch you through the mirror. Linger like a smokescreen for another witching hour. Wait for moonrise on the slopes of your body and I’m yours again, a dedicated pagan. This is a solunar affair: I, the witch, and you, the dizzying familiar. Palm to palm, bound to separate planes until I slip through liminal space and hold you dusk to dawn. Hands brimming with golden rays, fingers clasped, snug, with yours. \ Ally Fowler (she/her) is a poet interested in the mythological, historical, magical, and bigger-than-herself. Her poetry normally leans towards doom and gloom, but she likes to indulge in soft romance every once in a while. Instagram: @makingthingswrite. Medbyu Gsaabs Dixon The room pulses. A deep bassline turns the black walls red. People are getting drunk on the 808. Tonight is gluttonous and delicious. On stage, you have us in your light. Your heads would kill a man, but we’re pulsing with life. You give me more than life; a reason for it. The will to rise. This room is yours. Bounce, bounce. Never have I seen a body so joyously full. When I watch you, I’m astounded at the power you get, the energy you draw off all these people. The sweat glides over your collar bones, glistens off a skin that is dazzling. You are the sun. If they found you, if they knew what we had here, they would kill us. You, first, but everyone else too. We would die if we didn’t have you. I bounce. I touch myself. My waist, my chest, all my curves. My skin is soft, my skin wants to be played with. Wants you to tense your sharp fingers over my softness, make me tight. You have magic hands. I watch, captivated, as you shine bright and brighter in front of me. Your second head watches me. Every eye in this room is on you, but your second set of eyes watches as I stare. I could not take my eyes off of you, my glistening woman, if I tried. You have turned me to stone. Your heads admire the crowd in the room, but the second is always on me. The fourth keeps an eye on the corner, where the bar is. The bar offers an escape, but the people who are there aren’t here for your spirit. Usually, they are harmless. They are looking for a different kind of spirit. A different energy. I dance, closer to the stage. Your legs from this angle stretch up to heaven. You are a monster, a divine deviation, from the fangs of your stilettos all the way up to your tailbone. The luxury of you has consumed this room, a deep aching in my soul that wants you to take me whole. Take my entire life. Take my life. If I can’t enjoy you, I don’t want it. Your presence is hot stones down my back; your energy is my hands in my hair, my arms to the sky, every muscle taut and burning. I am alive. Then, there is a cold hand on my waist. I’m knocked, and the eyes around me feel invasive. The pressure in the room is so intense I could scream. Rough stubble is against check, wet lips on my cheek. My hand is pushed open for a glass. It reflects back the red, so welcoming before. The water reflects an unknown. Between me and her, there is a body. I twist, he pivots. There he is behind me, an arm weighing down on my shoulder. I shrug, I duck, finding my way only in a maze of arms. His clammy hand closes over mine and lifts the glass to my face. A pointed toe bumps his shoulder away. Her venomous eyes rest on him. The room slows down as he grabs the drink from my hand, ice flashing across the room as she screams. He has one foot on stage, gold sneakers raising him to her level. His cocky assumptions will be his downfall as she kicks him so hard, her stiletto pumps take the skin from his chest. Down, he falls, thudding on the ground and growing silent. Still as a statue. She jumps down from the stage. The energy in the room buzzes around her, standing over the body on the floor, but I see only her. Her heads shake, angrily flinging off the droplets he felt entitled to throw, and her foot rests on his chest. The crowd leans in. She looks at a face that will never move again, and a drip lands on his t-shirt, blossoming grey. She leaves. I follow. Opportunities are promised on the street, a lucky escape that I haven’t felt before. She keeps us safe, she turns the sky a burnt orange. Her hand slips into the delicate slope of my stomach, her fingers like a lock and key. I feel drunk on adrenaline but her energy keeps me centered. The world is hers, and all I can do is embrace it. The burn keeps me warm as she walks us home. \ Gabs (she/her) is a 23-year-old journalism student studying at UAL.

  • Gear Acquisition Syndrome
    Jan-Peter Herbst & Jonas Menze Gear Acquisition Syndrome, also known as GAS, is commonly Syndrome Gear Acquistion understood as the musicians’ unrelenting urge to buy and own Gear Acquistion Syndrome instruments and equipment as an anticipated catalyst of creative energy and bringer of happiness. For many musicians, it involves the unavoidable compulsion to spend money one does not have on Consumption of Instruments and gear perhaps not even needed. The urge is directed by the belief that Technology in Popular Music acquiring another instrument will make one a better player. This book pioneers research into the complex phenomenon named GAS from a variety of disciplines, including popular music studies and music technology, cultural and leisure studies, consumption research, sociology, psychology and psychiatry. The newly created theoretical framework and empirical studies of online communities and offline music stores allow the study to consider musical, social and personal motives, which influence the way musicians think about and deal with equipment. As is shown, GAS encompasses a variety of practices and psychological processes. In an often life-long endeavour, upgrading the rig is accompanied by musical learning processes in popular music.

GAMAGE BUILDING, HOLDORN TO HIS EXCELLENCY SIR SYDNEY OLIVIER, K.C.M.G., GOVERNOR OF JAMAICA, WHO BY HIS SVMPATHY WITH THE BLACK RACE HAS WON THE LOVE AND ADMIRATION OF ALL JAMAICANS, THIS VOLUME IS BY PERMISSION RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED. [A tl rt"gltts reserved] PREFACE WHAT Italian is to Latin, that in regard to English is the negro variant thereof. It shortens, softens, rejects the harder sounds alike of consonants and vowels; I might almost say, refines. In its soft tones we have an expression of the languorous sweetnes~ of the South: it is a feminine version of masculine English; pre-eminently a language of love, as all will feel who, setting prejudice aside, will allow the charmingly na'ive love-songs of this volume to make their due impression upon them. But this can only happen when the verses are read aloud, and those unacquainted with the Jamaican tongue may therefore welcome a few hints as to pronunciation. As a broad general direction, let it be observed that the vowels have rather the continental than the English sounds, while in the matter of the consonants the variation froin English is of the nature of a pretty lisp. The exact values of the vowels cannot, of course, pe described, but they approximate on the whole more to those of Italy and France than to those 5 6 PREFACE of England.

  • Fantasia of the Unconscious Lawrence, David Herbert
    Fantasia of the Unconscious Lawrence, David Herbert Published: 1922 Categories(s): Non-Fiction, Psychology, Human Sexuality Source: http://www.gutenberg.org 1 About Lawrence: David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an important and controversial English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism and per- sonal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, sexuality, and instinctive behaviour. Lawrence's unsettling opinions earned him many enemies and he endured hardships, official persecution, censorship and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a vol- untary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage." At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as "the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation." Later, the influential Cambridge critic F. R. Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness, placing much of Lawrence's fiction within the canonical "great tradition" of the English novel. He is now generally valued as a visionary thinker and a significant representative of
