Perspectives is a biyearly literary magazine that is dedicated to giving life to inanimate objects. It goes a step beyond the proverb, “Don’t judge a man before you’ve walked a mile in his shoes.” Perspectives gets the imagination to step into an inanimate object’s skin and walk around in it. Delve into the world of inanimate objects. Read Perspectives. Direct any questions or feedback to the founding editor, Monique Berry, at perspectivesmagazine@gmail.com

As well as introducing you to the latest issue of Perspectives, I take this opportunity for blatant self-promotion (I am blushing, can’t you tell). You’ll recognize me by my picture between its covers.
I’m certain you’ll have lots of questions for the editor after reading the unique articles. Go now, enjoy; afterwards, I hope you will share with your friends.

How wonderful! I love what you wrote, I really do – I haven’t looked through the rest of the publication yet, just yours, but will do later. What an interesting concept, to give life to the inanimate.

Thanks so much, Vanessa. When I first heard the magazine prints only articles about inanimate objects, I thought it was a joke. Once I read it, though, I realized the concept quite unique.
The founding editor is always looking for new writers…

I’m on page six but I didn’t want to specify what page I was on because I was afraid that might be too forward. Thanks for commenting. Maybe you’ll get to see the article.

Well, I had to take a look at this – what a fascinating concept, so creative! Thanks for the link. I enjoyed your Friends article, knew immediately what you were representing. (well, of course). I’ve developed a relationship with a multi-personality friend lately, her name is Kindle, and she’s always with me. Of course, I do still have many friends gathered together on shelves, and I enjoy the touch and feel and smell of them from time to time. But at least with Kindle there is no separation anxiety. 😉

Thanks, Judee. When I first heard of what this magazine was about, I scratched my head. What? After reading the magazine and got my head around it, I was off in a running start. Because I have a close relationship with books, they speak to me. Ha ha.
