DOG DAYS by Robert Levin I wanted to be invisible. Out of nowhere, with, I swear, nothing in my history to predict it, I'd done something people regard as sick and disgusting and I wanted to disappear. I should say that at first I wasn't so sure what I'd done was all that awful, and I certainly didn't concur with the character judgment implicit read


JAGGED EDGES by Marc Lowe She sat on the bed and watched. She watched them through a narrow chink in the wall. The boy had his arm around the girl. He was whispering something into her ear. The girl giggled and covered her mouth. He moved closer. She pushed him away. He tried again. She refused him again. He stopped smiling read


POETRY by Kent MacCarter
We clang inside the attractive hours of night – that space we bring and blow smokes in each other’s face. Our hair lets drop a towel for a shower, quick With beer we’ll rinse away remains of purity. Yes, we’re cheats in velvet sins, near dawn, and fuel up a getaway car on one very, very dear condition read



REVIEW - THE WORLD AT WAR AND THE IDIOT, by DOSTOEVSKY by Dan Schneider It was not long after my family moved into the very first home we had ever owned, in our line's history, that I recall watching, with my dad, a really good television show called The World At War, which recounted the history of the Second World War. For my dad, born in 1916 read


POETRY by Angus Gorberg Chlorophormed from the very breaths That birthed them Subway trains hiss like snakes Sidewinding through familiar passages. A chaise for the chase Not too many ticks from now To the next day But enough to turn loose All the splinters and dirt Recycled through vocal chords The irreconcilable news flash from my mother that, “You’re not so special!” Cautioning me not to make too much of the standing ovation just hours earlier read
