If any given Minneapolitan were to encounter the startlingly beautiful three headed octopus that edits and produces the literary arts magazine Paper Darts, he or she would feel compelled to ask said octopus how it could possibly put those three heads together to produce a work of art so cohesive in its vision-—so exact-—that it feels made by the hand of one meticulous and brilliant artist. Yet even without waiting for an answer, paging through the magazine again makes this Minneapolitan realize just how refreshing three heads can be. With its differing backgrounds, tastes, and talents-—with a reach so astonishingly tentacular—-the three headed octopus succeeds where an individual artist, however fastidious, cannot. Paper Darts bears no signature, no ego, and no associated neuroses. As a magazine for arts and literature, its primary function is to showcase the work of others, and while a work of art in itself1, it never fails to step aside and let its contributors speak for themselves.
Mill City Bibliophile would like to take a moment to discuss the zine as a generalized concept.
