Buckman Journal: Trance
Make a profound chicken curry and smoke some really good weed in a saucy new story from Emme Lund. Become a student of The Process in fiction from Dan DeWeese. Then drive the glitchy memory highway, wait out an allergic cascade. Debate the great trances, stumble onto something in the school multipurpose room with your best friend Bev. Meet Honey Bee, a woo-woo Florida transplant, and a sock seeking love. Pay a visit to Dina’s diner, see what happens when autocorrect takes it too far. Paintings that refract the digital prism from Amy Turnbull. The arboretic ripples of Matt Sanchez. Let the shapes take you, the speckles that float, the floral vibrancy repeating. Trance told in tunnels of color, and in ectoplasmic greyscale, swamp and monarch silhouettes, the ornate head contortions, all-over magenta landscapes. Let this anthology of Oregon writers and artists take you on an exploration through different hypnotizing, hilarious, and haunting aspects of trance.
