Dear new tribe-member, " The true secret
of happiness, lies
As I was describing Yoniverse, recently, to a friend who had not yet read it, I in taking a genuine
was asked, "So, how is Yoniverse different from other woman's magazines?“
interest in all
This got me to thinking about all the bullshit woman's magazines have been
trying to sell to the public. The conventional wisdom has always been that true "t h e d e t a i l s o f
stories, vulnerability and imperfections are not commercially viable. As a daily life
result, publishers have been reluctant to publish honest literary efforts in these
areas, and have failed to promote them when they did. Thus, the burden and
potential reward of publishing real shit, and even poetry, has often fallen into
the hands of internet archives, if not lost….
Looking out at the market, I find the courageous little magazines who struggle
to keep the fresh and independent spirit of woman literature alive, and
constantly at the brink of exhaustion and bankruptcy. Being bad of course, is
part of the price of taking risks, and can even be invigorating and refreshing if
it is done with imagination, but my feeling is that many "successful" woman's’
magazines, having established a loyal following, take almost no risks at all,
publishing work that has exactly the same tone and flavor over and over in
order to maintain their established recipe for survival. As a matter of fact,
"good work" has come to mean only work that takes no risks and strikes the
"high tone" of the rest of the publication. The result is a plethora of magazines
that project an aura of "exclusivity" (i.e., buy our magazine and maybe you
can be one of "us").
Me? Nahhh…. Sure, my English is lost without spellcheck, and my Afrikaans
accent rings true, but what I have is HUNGER! A hunger for expression in
language, in truth, the desire to push words out and pull them in. Even,
ironically, on the internet these days, I see creative interaction in words
blossoming in a way that the publishing culture has stultified. I see
authenticity. I feel a new modern-age female tribe forming, all over the globe.
In this energy lies the seed of a new female voice struggling to articulate itself,
and make itself heard in spite of all the proprietary claims upon its possession
and stewardship. In this new female voice, which I find in every envelope I
open, is a hunger for a literary culture which is neither exclusive nor simplistic,
whose sophistication rises from what is written, not from those committees
who render opinions as to what is good, and what is not. A voice which has a
genuine chance to evolve and improve itself on the basis of hearing and being
heard. A voice which will be equally cautious of adulation and venomous
critiques. A literature based on the spiritual and literary principles of
Blissology. It is Yoniverse’s purpose to respond to this need.
With Love, Light & Madness
