Our second issue features, among many, many other things, five new poems by Michael Burkard that werenât necessarily intended as a series, yet seem to draw from and call out to each other in surprising ways; the opening chapter of what promises to be an amazing tale from Tom Whalen which, should one dare and try to classify it, one might cite at some future date as an early example of the "university-intrigue-meets-surrealist-comic-nightmare"; and the first known fiction publication in all of history from an inventive young gentleman called Michael Scotto. Its cover artwork, a depiction of strands of hair emerging impossibly from the reels of a audio cassette, was designed and executed in one hour, while the two-part series finale of 80s-era sitcom "Full House" was broadcast in an adjacent room; there is a possibility that this seemingly-irrelevant detail could, in fact, have thoroughly informed the work as you see it today. We recommend asking someone to read this book to you while you drive your car. Creative Commons license: Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0
