. . . the experimental Peiriant

Both armed with a stringed instrument, they balance out the violin and guitar in a way that provides an intere

ZO's theme for our Poetry Expo this year is: TEN YEARS

Craft it — Write it — Edit it — then ENTER to Inspire the World — and win a cash honorarium with publishing . . .

Just as the stars collectively light up the sky, so does all humanity shine brighter together. We are each a shining star in the vast sea galaxy of starlight. Long after we ourselves have departed, our essence may be seen and felt for millennia. That starlight reaches into the future, transcending even itself and igniting the light of stars that are and are yet to be. — ZO Magazine

Conrad Warre spent a great deal of time neck-deep in the London music scene before packing up and heading overseas to the US. It was that moment in time that ZO wanted to start with to see just how the British meets American band, Bees Deluxe . . .

Submit COVER ART, POETRY & LITERATURE to ZO’s 10th Anniversary Decennalia EXPO!

As always, there will be awards and publishing and this year we’re also doing a “Toga Party” ⏳🎯💎🎭🎪🌍🪐

______________________________________

Decennalia is Latin for “10th Anniversary” and refers to the 10-year festivals & games in Ancient Rome. ZO was particularly intrigued by the origin in 27 BC when Roman Emperor Augustus “refused the supreme power offered to him for life and would only consent to accept power for ten years.”

In a world where power is so often idolized and misused, it is rare and inspiring to find those who refuse its seduction. Those who are willing to use their influence to empower others.

. . . not every young person only wants what is standing in front of them. Some, like LA-based rock artist Billy Tibbals, is very interested in what came before him.

There was a tweet going around the other day about how younger people don’t know pop culture history because they aren’t chained to the likes of Nick at Nite and music television anymore. Alas, not every young person only wants what is standing in front of them. Some, like LA-based rock artist B...

No one can tell when a song will be a huge pop hit, but there is a sort of science behind it, at least that’s what singer-songwriter Dylan Galvin breaks down in his latest single, “How to Write a Pop Song.

Getting to be a kid in the ‘90s meant that I got spoiled by a lot of pop culture greatness from television to movies, but what stands out most? The music that everybody knew every word to from Mariah Carey to Backstreet Boys. Because of that, I’ve always loved and appreciated the beauty of a pop...

How about some Happy Music! . . . The other day Blues Traveler came on. You know the song. They only had the one back in the ‘90s, but it reminded me of how happy and free music felt. Today, it’s like everyone is mad – which, I totally understand given the current state of the world and the constant panic we all feel, but “Run Around” made me yearn for some positive, good-natured music. Thankfully, Stoney Banks came just in time with “See You Smile.”
