Minnetonka Review is a national independent print literary journal. Published twice annually, we feature only the finest and most engaging fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, and essays on craft. In each issue, we share with our readers the works of the best authors in the field and, with a cash Editor’s Prize, we help bring to light and reward deserving new talent.
We believe that all great literature is revolutionary. Great writers are fearless. They call upon us as readers to experience the unimagined. They place us in peril and make us yearn for resolution and redemption. They show us parts of the world we’d never seen, and they make us see with new eyes what has been right before us all along. Great writers are crafty and they are dangerous—they may find new paths to follow within convention, or else they twist, distort, and stretch all sense of the conventional. But no matter how eclectic, experimental, or edgy, these writers never fail the most important mandate—to seamlessly transport their readers, and to tell them a story. Minnetonka Review is dedicated to publishing work that is honest, human, compelling, dramatic, and original.
If you're around on Thursday, December 10th, we are playing a FREE show at Mario's Keller Bar. I don't know if you've been there, but it's a very cool place. It's a comfortable space, the room sounds great and they have a stellar beer selection.
Also, we will be playing ALL NIGHT! We'll play some funky, bluesy, and soulful music. We'll project live video onto a 9 ft screen. We'll play some older material that hasn't been heard in awhile, as well as some brand new songs that've never been heard. All bets are off!! We'd love it if you'd come down and listen/party with us!
deadly silence got me low-down-hungry thinking about that hot-dog stand on the dismal corner beside the old beggar hand extended 16 year old virgin in hot-pants looking mad-bad-dangerous crimson fireball streaking across the sky middle-aged hooker front tooth missing she beckoning my weary ass one I love absent in world-gone-hungry Dixieland trio singing happy songs amidst angry downtown laughter low-down drug-mood feeding me blue music pornography rattling my brains wrap your lips around me back-alley broken hearts whiskey bottle-shards hitting the off-keys feel that fucked-up saxophone tickling your ribs atom-bomb-luvly feed me sin-soaked dead flowers on my grave warm kisses moonlight smiles her distant touch, her long-dead-musings, her love-gone-missing, her hips arching in the afternoon lust-dance, and your blue velvet beauty grinding away from me in the gutter-love sunlight…
This Friday, we are debuting a project called Sonic Transformations. Every month or so we will present a new audio-visual performance based on a different theme/story. We will be collaborating with artists and other creative musicians along the way so let us know if you have something you'd want to bring into this project.
The first in the series is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. It will be a musical adventure, and we hope that you can come participate :)
Here's the info:
Blood Root Mother - "An Object to Crave" w/ The Magnetrons & Thought Thieves Friday, October 16th Station 4 201 E 4th St St Paul, MN 55101 9pm / $5 / 18+
I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time a few days ago. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
Alexis and Ralph the Dragon...The # 1 Children's Book. of 2009 ...From first time Published Author....Barney Kowalski This soon to be released children's book is an adorable story of a baby dragon left on a human couple's doorstep.Raised as a little boy ,Ralph doesn't know he's a Dragon until he meets other children.Befriended by a little girl "Alexis" ,they discover Acceptance ,and learn to celebrate their differences and how much they have in common.
