Welcome to Isabell’a-Muse, a forum for experimental & contemporary fiction, social commentary, music, art, poetry, and film. We are looking for both the ridiculous and the sublime; the divine mundane; sounds that soothe or infuse; observations of life in all its quirkgloriousness. Humor and humility are not a requirement; but make us weep, contemplate, bob our head, laugh out loud, and we will publicly acknowledge your work for the rare genius it is and share it with others.

Submit – short stories, poems, observations, social commentary, music, or art. And please, comment on the work that’s posted! Start a discussion. Ask a question. There is a connection we are longing to make, and you are the missing link.

Isabella Muse is the on-again, off-again alter ego of Stephanee Killen, founder of the creative co(s)mic experiment, and author, editor, poet and existential detective-in-training. When she is not busy writing, she can be found practicing emotional bikram yoga. This is holding intensely awful emotional poses, for long periods of time, under duress of the high heat created by chronic over-thinking. Her hobbies include learning to condense her long-winded ramblings into short, concise statements of purpose, and occasional sojourns into the desert of the “real.” Isabella currently resides in Columbus, OH. Stephanee, however, is off someplace else.
