stories, poems and translations (of Rimbaud's Illuminations)
have appeared in Hanging Loose, The Sun, Big Scream, Blue
Mesa Review, etc. He grew up in Southern Belgium and Northern
Florida -- places where the creatures inside a Bosch painting
are very comfortable. A book of prose-poems (Faces in the

Seana Graham is
a bookseller in Santa Cruz, California and a closet scribbler
of long standing. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in
Red Wheelbarrow Literary Magazine and Eclipse. LCRW
is the first zine she's been published in, and she believes
appearing here will significantly help her 'coolness quotient'
-- that is, if anything actually can.
How do we get our stories?
We start with the set of people who read. Then we split
out those who write with a butter knife (or some other blunt
instrument). From these we filter out those who write well (and
can hold their breath under water). Lastly we ask our neighbors
to bury the stories in the garden for at least one season. We
print whatever stories might still be legible.
David Connerley Nahm
lives in Carrboro, NC. He has a wife with a cat named Typee,

he performs stand-up comedy. His story "Sitting on a Bench
in the Park" appeared in LCRW
#14. Please visit the Tropic
of Food if so inclined.
On Selling Out: Yes,
we will, thank you. Would we take the opportunity of having
a larger platform to throw our zine (re-imagined as glossy with
chocolate-bar pullouts and ads for the latest solar cars) out
from into the reading masses? Offers to the usual address.
