About Me |
|
| MISQ collects artifacts of and treatises on history. In the pages of War and Peace, good old Leo Tolstoy wrote (again and again), that history is decided by all people, by all pieces and all parts. He was neither the first nor the last to say this. MISQ is unsatisfied with the way things have been remembered and forgotten. Since it seems that the way we remember shapes the way we act, MISQ invites you to begin building a new sort of history, one of different words and sounds and pictures, one that might change what is unfair, and bring back what is lost. Help us build a new history house. Send materials for doorknobs, windowpanes, clocks, shingles, etc. GET YOUR SECOND ISSUE To acquire your very own copy of the second issue, send us a message with your name and address. This issue is FREE and full of biographies and pictures! If you have a favorite or least favorite historical date, you should send us that, too. We love trades. Second issue contents: -Biographies of Aaron Burr, one of Shah Jahan's wives, Andrei Bolotov, Milton Hershey, and Emperor Norton -A Microfilm discovery -Tip me over, pour me out (a comic) -A Dish History -Excerpts from Alligator: a short play E-MAIL misqmagazine@gmail.com for questions and submissions! |
