is not permanence that gives life meaning and hope. It is that it passes. Examining our time, do we give most of our hearts to that which is solid, and faithful? No: it is that which is transitory, that which walks to the flame that makes us see how close we too are to burning. Though lovers encircle us, it is only when we are outside their embrace that we truly feel them; it is only when our existence shifts onto some new track, some new path that we feel the pull of the steps we have already taken. The past constantly calls to us. It is clear, though, that to make our way without despair we must learn to close our ears to this siren. Though we hear its voice, and see again in our minds the shafts of light it sings, we cannot allow this whispered yesterday to corrupt our way to enlightenment. We must constantly seek to look beyond our limits, to find new ways to comprehend our place in this maelstrom. Basquiat knew this: he was restless, constantly seeking the next shard of knowledge, and reworking his art over and over in his attempt to find it. We at Unquiet Desperation know it too. Though this black-hearted publication has found a place, we know that to be satisfied is to calcify. The issue after this will be UD2.1: not only will our focus change, but the main zine will be accompanied by a number of other publications each issue, infiltrated into places where THEY don’t want true art and writing to be. Our band of tyrannical philosopher-poets will expand, to include all that know there must be more than the hamster-wheel life we’re forced to run... and that includes you. Visit www.unquietdesperation.co.uk to scream what your future will be, and why we all should know you. The question is, are you still shackled by the safe and the cloying, or are you ready to risk so much that you could gain, at last, a reason to live?
