Journal Issue
The Great Promoter gives this issue its argumentative center, with Gene Frumkin setting the terms. The fiction—The Hunter by Lachlan MacDonald—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 Train Window and Two Poems, shifting between grouped poems and single lyrics rather than settling into one house style. Essays and reviews carry that movement into A Step Toward Perception, so the issue reads as a conversation rather than a stack of unrelated contributions The printed contents bring together 1 work of fiction, 8 poetry entries, 4 prose or editorial entries, giving the issue a deliberately mixed pace across genres and forms.
