About me:
decomP (http://www.decompmagazine.com) is an online literary magazine that is updated monthly.

We are often asked about the possibility of going print, and we foresee this happening in 2010. decomP has been in existence since April 2004 and was originally called Decomposition Magazine. We have contributors from all over the country, and recently, have begun to see a large fan base in places like London and Scotland.

Some submission guidelines:

Prose:
> 3,000 words maximum (that should be more than enough)
> Paste your work into an e-mail (it's easier to deal with)
> Do not submit previously published work (it just looks kind of bad)

Poetry:
> Send up to five poems at a time (they should be your best poems)
> Paste your work into an e-mail (again, it's easier to deal with)

Art:
> We do not know much about art (send us anything you make)
> E-mail your loveliest art as a JPG or GIF file (we like these formats)

Biography:
> Please include a short paragraph about yourself (the world wants it)

Response Time:
> We respond to submissions fast (within a few days, most likely, but give us 30)

Rights:
> Unfortunately, there is no payment at this time (we wish we could pay you)
> If your work is accepted, it is automatically copyrighted upon publication, and you grant us one-time rights to publish your work and archive it online (for-ev-er)
> If a piece of yours is reprinted, please mention it appeared in decomP first (it's nice)

Simultaneous Submissions:
> These are fine as long as you notify us when another market picks up your work (we simultaneous submit, too)

What We Don't Want:
> Genre fiction (horror, erotica, romance, sci-fi, etc.)
> Miscellany (interviews, letters, lists, reviews, etc.)

Submissions are open! E-mail your submissions to decomp.magazine AT gmail DOT com
Who I'd like to meet:
Contributors! Submit your work and help our magazine grow. Founding Editor Mike Smith (04/2004-12/2007) met Editor-in-Chief Jason Jordan through decomP's first creative writing contest. You just never know how things are going to turn out. We'd also like to maybe network with the other zines. "So, uh, you come here often?"

Thanks for the myspacial friendship, and here’s wishing you a happy week, heavy with hilarious hoaxes, hospitable headless horsemen, heroic hobgoblins, hopeful harpy healers, horrifying heaps of horseradish, humorous hamster hags, haunted hairy harmonicas, and heavenly hellhounds howling heartfelt haikus about horoscope-handy hippopotami.

I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of checking out one of my new officially official website. I'd love to hear what you think.

Happytimes,
-Jeremy :)

cunt falls in love
with sunshine island
cunt spends a decade or so
off his bollocks on sunshine island
cunt lives the life
easy money
easy everything
cunt gets call from past
mothers taken ill
cunt returns to england
watches mother
who he's not seen for over ten years
die a horrible
cancer of the brain death
cunt gets job in a big department store
promises himself he'll do two years
cunt doesnt miss a day
isnt late once
cunt says no to more offers of sex
with married woman in there
than there are cocks in wine bars
cunt has breakdown alone
wont seek help
even pick up the phone
cunt cant do doctors
cunt finishes his two years
fucks off
back to sunshine island
out of season
up in the hills
cunt shouts at trees
talks to bastard dogs
cunt finds therapy in poetry
cunt becomes a poet
returns to england
cunt wont get a job
no
he's done that
cunt cant sign on
cos he'd feel an even bigger cunt
than he does now
if he did
cunts down to his last few grand
cunts fucking off back
to sunshine island soon
cunt asks himself why
cunt answers why not
then shouts
WHY FUCKING NOT

Hey, the new issue rules!
Clockwise Cat


Is Online


Feb 6 2008 7:46 PM

Clockwise Cat Issue Seven is live and eager for your eye-caress! Within the purrrrring pages of the current issue (theme: monotheism/polytheism/atheism/non-theism) you will find quaintly reverent odes to religion, wildly irreverent diatribes against religion, and pieces that benignly contemplate the cosmos. The new issue also features non-themed poetry and fiction, plus the usual invigorating gathering of rants, reviews, satire, essays, and visual art.

Issue Seven features such scintillating scribes as Misti Rainwater-Lites, rob plath, David McLean, Jack Marlowe, and many many more!

Ch-ch-check us out at www.clockwisecat.blogspot.com

FUCKING HELL

‘Your cunt stinks
Of my lover’s cock.
What the fuck’s
Been going on?’

In my enforced absence
The lawn’s become a meadow
Windfalls litter it
Like my angry footsteps
Booting the bruised fruit
Into spent borders laughing at me-
The nettles and the lilies
Waving in dumb encouragement.

When you fingered his arse
Did you ask how it feels
With my eel slithering up there?
I bet you did.

Sun steams moisture
From the greenhouse glass
Its cucumbers rotting
On their thirsty stems.
Men!
It was a sacrifice
This green Nirvana dream of mine.

I slide dew wet loafers
On the dusty floor.
She asks me how it went.

‘You know,
A funeral in Kent in autumn
Is always penetrated
By the scent of roast barley
And hops.’

I go to hit her very hard
And his sudden power brings restraint.
I know that smell.
It always made my willy swell.
I tell him-‘Fucking hell! I have my mother’s
Ashes in the car!’
As I do I realise, since it’s written
In black neon on his eyes,
I don’t live here anymore.
