ABOUT THIS GROUP
We are especially interested in "experimental" writing and visual art here at The Surreal Circus. This includes (but is not limited to) surrealism, fantasy, magical realism, and stream-of-consciousness writing. If it's not realistic, send it our way! Please note that The Surreal Circus is a creative writing and art group. As such, we don't accept news articles, Skyword articles, documentary work, or essays (unless they are about the arts). ***************************************************************** Surreal art or writing usually includes one or more of the following: 1. A dream-like quality. 2. Bizarre or illogical juxtaposition of ideas or symbols. 3. Breakdown of logical thought. 4. Non-linear flow of time. 5. Symbols or archetypes that speak to our conscious as well as our unconscious minds. 6. A dark and/or ironic sense of humor.

Thanks for checking in, Doug. One miss is no big deal, but I get nervous when moderators vanish! (Not that I don't vanish also, at times).
