2006

The theme is "Retro," as Sensations Magazine revisits old locations and issue themes . . .

(Above) Dusting off the past:  the 2006 "Retro" issue gives writers one last chance to submit work on 20 these previously presented in various Sensations Magazine issues from 1994-2005.  The new 20-part issue, coming December 2006, may exceed the 250-page 1999 Millennium Turning issue in both size and scope.

The 2006 "Retro" issue gives poets the opportunity to submit work to theme issues they previously missed.  Click the "Submit" button at upper left, then the "Poetry" button, for the 20-theme list.

. . . offers 15 new events, a blend of poetry readings and literary lectures, to bring some diversity to the New Jersey poetry scene . . .

From literary lectures on William Butler Yeats and Walt Whitman, to poetry readings and social gatherings for active subscribers, to the debut of two new poetry books and his Silver Anniversary Tour, the Publisher of Sensations Magazine continues bringing new and exciting performances to the New Jersey poetry scene, and bringing sensational poets with him on the journey.

On the publishing front, Sensations Magazine releases one issue in 2006:  Issue 40, "Retro," in December, 2006, and begins the fiction judging process for the ambitious 20th Anniversary Fiction Issue, coming June 2007. 

Preceding the "Retro" issue is a one-time project: the Silver Anniversary Issue of Alternative Motifs, reuniting the poets of Fordham University for the first time in 25 years.

. . . along with the Silver Anniversary Tour of Publisher David Messineo, featuring poetry readings in tuxedo . . .
