IPR's "And Miles to Go Before I Sleep" Issue
Editors Tatyana "Presh" and Susan Terris
Fado, climbing cables of the Golden Gate Bridge, the past remembered, future imagined, about the gradual disintegration of self, about art and music, about turning a failed mousse into Potage au Chocolat.

Editor Melissa Broder and Mr. Lichtenberg of SF
LPZ #28 is a smoke in the confessional, a cadmium system, the us-ness of silence. She will suck down soba, resemble a circus, bury her keys, and smartly carve you, and do other cute-ish things.

Mark Strand's "Elegy for My Father"
Author: Cooper "The Coop" Renner
From: In Dissent
Greg Orr's early surrealist verse finds its deepest source in a biographical fact: while both were still boys, Orr shot and killed one of his brothers in a hunting accident. Orr reached the apogee of this record in "Gathering the Bones Together," the title poem of his second volume, a short sequence blending elegy with nightmare and hope to create, perhaps, the poet's "bridge" out of the past. Like Orr, but far more prominent (as well as half a generation older), Mark Strand built his reputation with user-friendly dreams and nightmares more eager to invite than repulse the reader ... more

WDS profusely thanks reviewer Levi Asher for saying what we've all wanted to say for years, namely, that the Vollmann emperor is naked to the point of nausea:

"I have tried hard, so very hard, to appreciate Vollmann, a wildly original postmodernist obsessed with history and human aggression who is considered a great intellect by several people I respect. I've eagerly bought his thick, intimidating books, and I have put in solid time trying to read them. I will not try anymore.

William Vollmann is, in my opinion, the David Blaine of literature. It's all an endurance act. Can a skinny kid with pimples and glasses really write a seven volume chronicle of the settlement of North America, follow it with a 3,300 page history of human violence and then toss out an 800 page rumination on the Eastern Front in World War II? Yes, he can. But if you take the "wow" factor away from William Vollmann, does his work stand up?" Thank you, Levi! OMG, thank you!
