Issue 1: Poetry


Charles Wright and Heather McHugh don’t need introductions, but you might find some facts about our correspondences with them interesting. We sent each poet an email, asking for a poem to accompany the audio files of their readings. McHugh shot us an email with her poem, “Creature Pressure,” embedded in it. When we didn’t hear from Wright via email, we attempted to reach him the old-fashioned way: We wrote him a letter. Wright’s poem, section “18” of a longer work in progress, came in an envelope. We scanned it for you, as is, cross-outs and all. Hope you enjoy our first issue. We’ll be back in the spring with poems by C.D. Wright, Forrest Gander, Eleanor Wilner, and some wonderful emerging writers.
