ABOUT
Grotto is a journal of surrealist-grotesque poetics.
Human life on this planet is monstrous (inseparable from both beauty and horror). Grotto exists against the demands of shame: which degrades art-life and sabotages the sincerity required to render heaven on earth.
Living with metamorphic garbage is the only peace.
The surrealist-grotesque is a horizon. When land and air meet, a brink derives, where birds fire their softest songs. What we mean is: we want anything that flies.
This is a poetry journal; however, we will consider narrative-leaning-prose-poems, lyric micro-essays, apophatic flash, etc. as long as the surreal and the grotesque are evernear.
Love each other, throb in the flora,
GROTTO
