A little about Calliope Nerve from the muse's mouth...
"Calliope Nerve is a web log, informal zine, and publishing company focusing on high quality poetry and short-lit with a bent for dark, sur-real, and experimental pieces. All submissions must be sans the snobbery of other publications. Art must be shared with the world, it belongs to all. Our zine has published everyone from accomplished writers/poets, to retired pest exterminators, to seventeen year old cheerleaders and people from all walks of life in between. We do not care whether the world gets us or not. Most importantly, each issue strives for as much originality in content as possible."

And in case you're wondering Calliope was the ninth and chief muse of eloquence and epic poetry.
