   About AROHO
A Room of Her Own Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to furthering the vision of Virginia Woolf by bridging the often fatal gap between a woman's economic reality and her artistic vision.

The Foundation was formed in 2000 to provide innovative and practical arts patronage to women through our generous grant program and unique retreat experiences.

Our myspace page is a new endeavor undertaken to get the word out to as many women writers as possible to enter our room, join other women writers, and to apply for our Gift of Freedom.

Although we are in our gestational stage here on myspace, if you visit our website (The link is down to the left.) you will see that we are starting to walk--boldly and with clear direction.

(ñ)
En este número, fotógrafos, filósofos, artistas plásticos, diseñadores, músicos y escritores, desde diversas ciudades del mundo, indagan y cuestionan la dialéctica medio-individuo.

El adentro, el afuera, o el adentrofuera.
- ¿cuáles son las nuevas ‘definiciones’ que serían necesarias para poder articular códigos y vías de comunicación válidas en un tiempo en el que los ríos fluyen vigorosos de puro ruido?
- ¿libertad y comunicación son valores que se anulan mutuamente?
- ¿cómo evitar entrar al juego? / ¿o cómo salir? / ¿o a dónde salir? / ¿para volver a entrar?
- ¿dónde queda el outside?

(e)
On this issue, photographers, philosophers, plastic artists, designers, musicians and writers, from several cities around the world, investigate and question the dialectic environment-individual.

The inside, the outside, or the inoutside.
- What are the new ‘definitions’ that would be needed to articulate codes and communication channels valid in a time where the rivers flow of pure strong noise?
- Are communication and freedom values that are canceled each other?
- How to avoid entering the game? / Or how to get out? / Or where to go out? / ¿To re-enter?
- Where is the outside?

The Smoking Poet Launches Winter 2008-09 Issue!

A great poem does things to you. Divine and nearly frightening things, like knotting up something inside you, or making your heart slip into an erratic beat, or catching your breath, or causing tremors, fevers, daydreams, sweats, inexplicable bliss.


Congratulations to the winners of TSP’s Annual Poetry Contest!

First Prize: “Northward” by Koh Xin Tian

Second Prize: “Sock Puppet” by Malcolm R. Campbell

Third Prize: “Reunion: 30 Years Too Late” by Lana Maht Wiggins

Honorable Mention: ”Selected Love Letters I’m Still Trying to Write” Kelli Russell Agondon


A special thank you to our honorary judge, poet Dorianne Laux.


Enjoy great poetry, fiction, non-fiction, book reviews, cigar reviews, and an interview with our feature artist, Sue Hughes. Watch for a new call for submissions, including our second short story contest.

Y SIN EMBARGO magazine #17

2008
southspringnorthfall
An issue devoted to the inquiry and test of the media graphic communication's possibilities in codification, reach and endurance.
How much texts fit in a text? How much in a picture, how much in a collage?
How far does the medium bears the load? How much message stands a message? How many readings?
Multiple levels. Multiple approaches. Multiple resonances.
How far the invisible architecture can be extended (how deep)?
