This second installment of the Detour series invites the viewer to revisit the perceptual experiment conducted in Detour 1 only instead of presenting the images in a rapid succession, here they are slowly fragmented almost like a puzzle occasionally coming together to form complete images. - chris Roeckel2 years ago
I wish you baskets of happiness...

General
A fine cigar and good literature: two of life's finer pleasures. At The Smoking Poet , we publish flash fiction, fiction, poetry, reviews, non-fiction, and author/artist interviews that ignite our imagination, inflame our passion, leave us with a smoky aftertaste. We'll also consider the occasional novel excerpt as a special feature. Submit to us your finest flash pieces; we are open to all genres, within good taste. All we ask is that you submit your best work - polished to the highest level of your ability, and that you leave yourself open to, at worst, rejection, at best, constructive criticism.

This doesn’t look like a cigar lounge. It doesn’t smell like a cigar lounge. But it is — a virtual cigar lounge for the literati. A dusky lounge where, if you listen closely, a jazz quartet plays in the corner. A fine brandy warms in your snifter. The warm lighting lets your mind drift to faraway places... and the frazzled nerves of the day are soothed smooth again.
The Smoking Poet is the literary magazine you’ll someday find on the coffee tables in your favorite cigar lounge - your own living room or den.
