#####

This mostly an uninteresting assortment. The first essay, "Firebombings: From My Father's Wars to Mine" by Christopher Dickey was interesting, though it isn't likely to stay with me too long.

And while I generally don't care at all for poetry, the best part of this issue was the found poetry by Roger Parish, "Three Greek Epitaphs."

I'm glad this was in the library. It wasn't worth buying, though I like to support the small press magazines.
