Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
Just (another) bit of self promotion boss! Abridged is making a very rare appearance in the daylight to present a poetry reading by Jacob Polley (who just won the Eliot Prize), Theresa Munoz and Stephen Burt at the Cuirt Festival, Galway on April 29th for anyone near or fancying a break. Galway is a great city with plenty of great bars. See details at http://www.cuirt.ie/event/abridged-step ... ney-chair/ We'll also be launching the latest issue of the Abridged Magazine! The title may have been influenced a bit by a certain song that mentions Babel!
