Dear readers,
We are hard at work on the next issue, due out this summer, and more on that below, but that’s not the news quite yet. The news:
We’re helping to throw a party to celebrate The Back Room, Small Press Traffic’s singular online publishing project. You should come. There will be a bilingual reading of TBR’s final commission, Camille Roy’s “LAND BEHIND BAGHDAD;” and for our part, Katherine Ross Ward is presenting a canape-based preview of Issue Two. We’ll also have our last box of Issues One for sale or subscribing.
I announced the Review in an essay for TBR. This is the direct tie, but there are many loose ones that connect both TBR and SFRW to the ongoingness of Bay Area publishing as carried out by artists, poets, and experimenters, to projects that have given us the ground for collective whatever. It’s nice to celebrate these things.
