PIACERANCE
is the key word for the upcoming issue.
translated as
n. the experience of hearing a song for the very first time that stops you in your tracks, your ears perked to the immaculate composite of lyrics, melody, harmony, and chord changes as if each constituent part was given life with you and your narrative in mind, and now eternally stored in your medial pre-frontal cortex so that years from now when you walk into a coffee shop and hear it again, you will immediately see the associated person, place or memory of your past self in your mind’s eye, autobiographical details more vivid than ever.
As an "opposer" to John Koenig’s Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows
there is a new source of "words" in the DICTIONARY OF PERCEPTIBLE JOYS. The owner and the creator of these words in his own expression "is taking to the same spirit of John Koenig’s Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, [he] builds the words by combining other words that mean something similar etymologically (in English and in other languages). [The author's] hope is to define and characterize feelings and emotions that others may relate to.
As the American lexicographer Erin McKean finely put it, “If you love a word, use it - that makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an arbitrary distinction; it doesn’t make a word any more real than any other way. If you love a word, it becomes real. [He is] just creating words for those pleasures in [his] own life that have yet to be spelled out in a single, operative word" which is true as from the other side, the dead words are those we never use.
