Dis-let

Dear Writer, You are kindly invited to contribute to the "PARADOXISM" international journal with literary creation in any language, but accompanied by an English translation. You'll receive a free copy of the journal with your published work in the coming winter. The <paradoxism>, as an avant-garde literary movement, has been set up in 1980s, and # The Basic Thesis of the Paradoxism is: everything has a meaning and a non-meaning in a harmony each other. # The Esence of the Paradoxism: a) the sense has a non-sense, and reciprocaliy b) the non-sense has a sense. # The Motto of the Paradoxism: "All is possible, the impossible too!" The Paradoxism especially reveals the contradictions, the anti-nomies, the anti-theses, the anti-phrases, the antagonism, the non-conformism, in other words the paradoxes of anything (in literature, art, science).

Now, the editor is looking for PARADOXIST DISTICHS, or essays, notes, articles, comments on them. The Paradoxist Distich is a two-line poem which contains an antithesis. The second line contradicts the first one, but both lines form together a unitary meaning defining the title. This has been initiated in 1990s. It is a new type of poetry with fixed form. Here there are 7 examples of <paradoxist distichs>: P E R P E T U U M
