Busk

This project is believed to be defunct. (December 2013)

About

At Busk we intend to continue publishing high quality art and literature, including, but not limited to: poetry, photography, drawing, fiction, non-fiction, and painting. Aside from this, we would also like Busk to serve as a space for intellectual (and base) discourse on any number of topics, again including, but not limited to: literature, music, art, television, athletics, cooking, fermentation, nature, Vegemite and identifying dogs on the street. At Busk we will provide a home for the buskers out in the streets; those individuals sending their art and ideas out into the ether with no consideration for whether or not anyone wants to hear them. Our only vague hope is that with the guitar case open in front of our feet, something might fall into it.
