Journal Issue
Tijuana: A Profile gives this issue its argumentative center, with Barding Dahl setting the terms. The fiction—The Kite by Robert Eskew; The End of Her Rope by Vahan K. Gregory—moves among private crisis, social pressure, and public consequence, with each story’s title and setting supplying a distinct point of entry. The poetry runs from Three Poems and Cause for Complaint, shifting between grouped poems and single lyrics rather than settling into one house style. Essays and reviews carry that movement into London Newsletter, so the issue reads as a conversation rather than a stack of unrelated contributions The printed contents bring together 2 works of fiction, 12 poetry entries, 5 prose or editorial entries, giving the issue a deliberately mixed pace across genres and forms.
