Now comes our Fall 2011 issue, bringing together pieces of various sizes and shapes, each of which, in its own way, turns out threatening and intriguing, the last being among the great pleasures of reading, that story or poem that just goes its own way, always ending up where you didn’t quite expect it to. Here you will find conventions thwarted, and conventions missing in action, and conventions fulfilled exactly as you anticipated–almost. Or maybe not, on second thought. We loved these pieces one and all and hope you do, too.
