Clay Palm Review is a revolving journal created as a form of nourishment for both the contributor and audience. CPR aims to introduce experimentally eccentric, yet simplistic language and art based on abstract communication. CPR acts as liaison between writer and artist, showcasing the talent of new and already established professionals, spurring a silent relationship between the page and one's emotion. CPR understands the primal urge to create what is felt and observed, and thus understands the struggle between subconscious thought (eccentricities we may shy from) and simplistic desire, and therefore hopes to explain the world we live, in unusual, and at the same time, simplistic terms.

Clay Palm Review was formed from an appreciation of culture, spirituality, the connotative and denotative meanings of words, mannerisms of those around, as well as all forms of art and sculpture (using your hands to form.) CPR is a gallery of word, emotion, communication, silence, desire, passion, earth, ancestors and miracles.

CPR urges its audience to absorb the contents, to listen to what the pages speak. Let the words and visual forms mingle your blood, let them inspire you to live and keep on living in every sense of the word.

Enjoy!
