issue 10D (#41)
original debut: August 8, 2003

from the editor
Welcome to the second "best-of" issue of Xenith! This is the middle issue in a series of three celebrating Xenith's 6-year anniversary. The first issue contained the best writing from Xenith's regular issues, and the next issue will feature the best writing from Xenith's message boards.
This issue showcases the best poetry and prose from "An Out-of-Xenith Experience". Out-of-Xenith is a weekly (in theory) feature on Xenith's website about a third of the size of a regular issue. There's always something new.
This issue features the purposefully offbeat (Summertime, Smells Too Dim, and Michael Stipe is a Bad Ass, Part IV: The Batting Cages), the gritty (Richard Edwards' two poems), the raw & emotional (Late Nights on the Bathroom Floor, Fly, and Megan) and two tributes--one to beat poet Allen Ginsberg and one from Prasenjit Maiti, a man living in India who pays tribute to his beloved city, Calcutta.
Enjoy.
