Introducing Katie Dirge - Owner/Publisher of 'Black Sunday Zine'

Hi everyone, recently I had the pleasure of meeting and working with the fabulous Katie Dirge. Ms Dirge produces the publication, 'Black Sunday Zine. Katie was kind enough to publish some of my work and in turn I would like to introduce you to her and what she does. She is a very interesting lady with a penchant for the dark macabre and I recommend you check out all the links at the bottom of the page.    Katie Dirge – from ‘The House of Dirge’ website introduction: “Katie is my real name, Dirge isn’t. My love of the Victorian era and its death customs inspired me to take a name that reflects my love and interest.

Even that most rudimentary characteristic of human nature and existence, sexual love, is reduced to a type of capitalist transaction of   ‘automated’ experience.   It is a lasting impression of humanity at its lowest and most fallible point. However, despite Eliot’s reactionary portrayal of the spiritual and cultural death of western society, The Waste Land is not without hope or redemption. Indeed, in the knowledge that the text itself will generate wisdom, through the process of understanding and interpretation, there is a certain degree of optimism present. Modernism (particularly Modernist writing) was essentially a search for absolutes, or fundamental truths, about human existence and experience.
