Journal Issue
The issue begins with Thorow by Susan Howe, and gives the reader an immediate way into the issue. From there, Sin Tactics and The Screen of Distance & other poems widen its range of voices and approaches. The fiction supplies a narrative counterweight to the poems and criticism, giving the issue a shape as well as a roster. Long projects are the governing unit: The Screen of Distance & other poems and the other excerpts or poem groups let serial form, accumulation, and return displace the self-contained magazine lyric. Taken together, the issue offers a cross-section of ongoing experimental practices—poetry, prose, translation, and performance sharing space without being reduced to a single school.
