NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS

 

To our friends:

This issue completes Volume I. Now we take a year's sabbatical to raise funds. See you in spring 2012. In the meantime, we'll appreciate all leads toward support.

To pause on such high notes—McElroy, Zukofsky, strong samplings of French and US fiction, the work combined with unusually-rich reflections on it—what could be better?

We'll have your answer in 2012!
