Gavin J. Grant: Still.
Kelly Link: Outtern. Tap.
Jedediah Berry: Intern. Distilled.
Gwyneth Merner: Intern. Effervescent.
Another issue of a zine.
Printed in 2-point type and taped shut with duct tape to build
anticpation (and microscope sales).
Actual zine hoped to have
the same size front and back covers. Also, a rich creamy cover,
not actually white. As with much of the information on this
page, you'll have to take it on trust unless you get a copy
in your hands. Well, except for the few linked things.
Tie-in (and tie on) rosebud
wristlets (made of edible rice paper) will be given out with
every Veggie Delite Subway sandwich.

Michaela Kahn is
an indentured servant tied to the slaving-meat-wheel of mindless,
meaningless labor. She's heard there's a ritual you can perform
out in the desert with a penny, a piece of yellow legal paper,
sage, a fountain pen, mouse-droppings, and the recitation of
a few choice phrases that will put an end to global capitalism.
She's currently searching for the correct words.
After his brief stint as
the Dalai Lama, John
Kessel earned his living exclusively by selling kelp
to passengers of the Orange Line in the 14th Street IRT station.

Fiction, Lenox Avenue, Strange Horizons, and Star*Line.

past her 55th birthday, takes the responsibilities of apprentice
cronehood seriously. She has published three poetry chapbooks,

of Conflict and Resolution.

dreams.
