So for two months now I've been thinking, "What could be a good scenario to suffer from really, really dry eyes?" (that's not weird because, I've spent hours thinking of the purpose/role of mosquitoes in the food chain and questioned their right to existence, among other things) and I came with the odd thought that maybe a good time would be to have it that in-between-ing stage for the boys (yes 'male') who get the 'he cries like a girl' thing ever so much. Now, young man, try as you much, the tears will betray you and you will march off into playground sunset (maybe a #HimToo in the offing?)

 

 

Know what's really tear-worthy? This:

 

• Odd Poetry: Bruce McRae, Liam Pezzano, Mendes Biondo, Michael A Griffith and Sara Lefsyk

• Odd Shorts: Mathew Roy Davey, Robert Masterson, Michael D Smith, Michael Onofrey and Riham Adly

• Odd Interview: Poet John Dorsey in conversation with Gary Cummiskey

• Odd Art: Oliver Neumann

• Odds & Ends: Daniel Y Harris

• Odd Video: Tuda Muda

 

And it's just starting to get busier! We are close to getting the first (2018) Odd Books package printed, ready and knocking at subscriber doors end of this year/early next year(2019). This is big for us and we need you! Help us with a $14 subscription at the PayPal account and notify me immediately with a confirmation mail with postal address and contact details at the odd email id . Everything you need to know is right here.

 

Here's bigger-than-a-bellyful of thank you's to subscribers who've already chipped in and here's hoping you would consider giving us a head's up and book your odd package before Dec 25, 2018. 

 

I'll leave you gleaming eyes to shed tears of joy over this epic issue.

 

As always, #StayOdd!
