Journal Issue
The Hollywood Image gives this issue its argumentative center, with Kingsley Widmer setting the terms. The fiction—Three Stories by Stephen Geller; The Man Who Prepared for no Thinking by David R. Bunch—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 Personal Poems of Grandeur and Magniloquence and Two Poems, shifting between grouped poems and single lyrics rather than settling into one house style. Essays and reviews carry that movement into Bombay Town, so the issue reads as a conversation rather than a stack of unrelated contributions The printed contents bring together 2 works of fiction, 13 poetry entries, 2 prose or editorial entries, giving the issue a deliberately mixed pace across genres and forms.
