Columnists are writers whose vision becomes a lens for others to glimpse at the world through. We host writers willing to extend their perspective in such ways. What makes good column? A kind of linkage, a style etc. are easy. More difficult is the matter of leaving the singular issue and work with the logic of the series. The series is the column. A series is defined by the itch to do something again and again. Also series fail quite often, multiplication does not happen every time. Sometimes after the first burst of excitement, an orphanage for texts seems like the appropriate place to visit. More than the sequentiality of a text, it is the sequentiality of transparent windows that offer you a vision of a frame of your perspective. When you successfully became a window, you were initially wondering where and how to place yourself. We remember telling you that there is no point, the architecture will shape itself around you. Walls are built around windows. And language works that way; the parts that seem most dense and mean the least surround the parts that are most clear. The heart of the matter is aways clear. But how will we stay close to the heart of the matter? Stay with one voice, keep modelling words and extending worlds of the voice that you can sense behind the text. That voice is real. Sometimes more real than the voice that you can hear in your own head. Read till your voice screams out aloud.
