The Importance of Stories Issue…the most important stories being the ones we tell ourselves…
This month, HUNT N. PECK blasts onto these pages with chapter one of GREENBEARD , a sort of stirring saga of piracy, pieces-of-eight, port wine, and pajama parties…as if that wasn’t enough (and it wasn’t), he also contributes an expose of our military use of poetry in THE LETHAL LIMERICK …BOB IRWIN loves the way we dress up our stories in BOB’S PHOTO GALLERY: FAIRYLAND …and HARVEY LILLYWHITE goes right to the heart of the matter in WHY I AM NOT A MAN …
ALICE NUTTER finds her own writing in the stories of the past and the future in THE IMPORTANCE OF STORIES … SEAN WATKIN has had it with all talk and no action in QUEERPOOL 11: YOUR STORIES …BJ BEAUCHAMP tells the story of A REAL GENTLEMAN …and traveling goes together with language for DAVID HOROWITZ in BUS TRIP STORIES…

JACK CARNEAL spins the start of his stories in SMALL AND LESSER FATES with CAMMIE…and more to come…

THIS MONTH’S EDITORIAL really thinks poetry editor HARVEY LILLYWHITE is on to something in his essay WHY I AM NOT A MAN…
The Todblog pushes on, even more annoyed than usual with conventional stories of winners and losers…JAM TODAY makes a game of eating well and eating cheap…
Finally, ASK WENDY GETS PUSHED OVER THE EDGE …she’s had it with people not getting hers and EAP’s story straight, and she’s demanding changes. There’s a revolt brewing in THE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS WORKING GROUP MAY MINUTES … where will it all end?
