Locust Review

About

Locust Review strives to give an imaginative voice to the radically weird, the critically irrealist, the dissident, the worker. It is communist. It is avant-garde. It is non-dogmatic. It is striving to be popular, but hated. It is an experiment in human creativity when the means of creation have been transformed more dramatically in the past thirty years than virtually any other time in the history of the species. It is resolute in its refusal to give up the dream of utopia even as the world looks exceedingly grim. It is a deliberate anachronism that holds a future. Perhaps not THE future, but A future; a future that redeems the past.
