"Inspiring. Ear on the ground, pushing the envelop and rediscovering the ordinary. Keep it up!"

–Natasha Himmelman, February 14th, 2009

"There's been a beautiful progression since the first issue, with more writers and different kinds of content--it's really starting to sing. What a treat to read poetry by Lola Shoneyin ahead of her forthcoming novel. Chuma Nkwolo, Jr.'s storytelling powers are a thing to behold! Niran Okewole's skillful poem explores some ugly truths about modern psychiatry. Dawn Promislow's story offers a rare peek behind the curtain of apartheid South Africa--you're brave to publish the things you do, Amatoritsero! And Jeffrey Mathews, what a crazy ride of a story! Whew. So much to see here, I'm still taking it all in. Marvelous."

–Rebecca Rustin, April 23rd, 2009

“To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.”
