Summary:

"Let's imagine that God is to be traced with a golden crayon held in the shaky hands of an experienced infant. The infant asserts the moral cum spiritual right to tracing, and as Margaret Atwood once affirmed, God is a good listener. He doesn't interrupt. In our case, he didn't. There was tenacity in our vision for this Issue; if you wish, a tenaciousness. In attempting to define God, we came to the same conclusion as Gary Snyder, who wrote in relation to a poem, "The poem is seen from all sides, everywhere at once." In this respect, God is seen from all sides, everywhere at once. What we find is left for us to find by some sort of preordained order. We cannot come to the end of our search. We will only try. It is a trial without error; an error without trial. Our concern has been to question the Name of God. We have asked this of his followers, his enemies, and the Neutral Association on the Existence of God (NAEG). The question is not Does God Exist? It is, perhaps, how/why does he exist? Is he The Man or is Man the God? How manned/manly is God? As such, while Dango Mkandawire tries to Man God or God Man, it is in the writings of Yazeed Kamaldien that we find the true ambition of a God-ed country. And while Sophistes has chosen to find such God-edness in the generic divide between prose and poetry, Ram Govardhan has conceived a unity in religiousness, which is, of course, man's futile reach to God. On and on. In this issue, we have compiled poetry and writings that are as ambitious as non-ambitious; for we all found that we lack the temerity to end all definitions about God. The truth, which has been hard to find, is found. Those who seek to God themselves must define God as themselves. No longer should we import a being responsible for our minds. A man can choose to be his God; but no man should claim that God has chosen him to choose God. If he does, he would no doubts succeed. But mind that he chose his own crayons - his standards, his desired end... P.S: We could not define God. Our trial was our error."-- provided by distributor.
