“In this, the 2nd edition of Hidden Door Journal, writers and artists grapple with the notion of unruly, interruptive sound. For Doug Skinner, it’s tracking the wildness of Project Hermes, in which devotees of a man who heard voices in the crackle of an arc welder sought ways to telepathically contact subterranean lifeforms. Catherine Ryan collates an inexhaustible series of forms of interruption. Kristen Gallerneaux reports on three deeply weird ghost tales, heralded by the sonic intrusions of the undead. Luke Patterson rages against the way bureaucratic language brutally shapes the lives of indigenous youth. Marcus McKenzie’s notebook pages trouble the boundaries between the expressible and the inexpressible through polysemic writing and diagramming. And Josephine Mead considers the ways in which the gaps in language might produce a form of expansive, queer possibility. In reading them, we invite you to attend to the ripples of rupture, and to notice what new worlds might become possible when the old ones are interrupted.”
