syntax is a Denver-based Literary, Art and Music review.
Having cultivated support through Denver's music and art scene, as well as through internationally-acclaimed artists like Jeff Soto, Sas Christian, Ewik and Ray Caesar, syntax has created a presence in the national literary scene; but most importantly, in Denver's literary, music and arts culture.
"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls."
- Anais Nin
Who I'd like to meet: "...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace things, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWWW!"
- Jack Kerouac
i made you a pretty birthday card...you should be getting it soon. i also wrote you a poem, but i doubt you'll ever see it. in short, i love you very much, and i hope you have a beautiful birthday.
On June sixth, over twenty Denver musical acts swap songs at the all
night auditory orgy called Denver Does Denver. Played on three stages
between Bar Bar and Old Curtis St (2100 Curtis st.), these two
neighboring venues serve as the sets for promiscuity in sound. Each
band abandons their original material to play a set covering another
Denver band. The expansive lineup includes a wide assortment of
Denver's most adventurous artists, from singer songwriters to
electronic composers, hip hop crews to blues crooners, improvisational
avante gardists to old time country troupes. Witness a massive
intersection of local on local sound at Denver Does Denver.
