Journal Issue
The (Guest) Editor’s Uneasy Chair gives this issue its argumentative center, with Curtis Zahn setting the terms. The fiction—Firestorm by Mel Weisburd; SADCO; The Second Coming—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 How Queer Are You for War and Successions, shifting between grouped poems and single lyrics rather than settling into one house style. Essays and reviews carry that movement into A Million Typewriters versus a Million Missiles, so the issue reads as a conversation rather than a stack of unrelated contributions The printed contents bring together 3 works of fiction, 17 poetry entries, 10 prose or editorial entries, giving the issue a deliberately mixed pace across genres and forms.
