Nimrod
Volume 56 Number 2, Spring/Summer 2013
“Lasting: Writers Over 57.” Good words are always lasting and so are good people. They last in our memory and on the page. But why publish an issue of writers over 57?

But more important to our decision to focus on mature writers and writing is that the “boom” generation (ages 48-62) and older present its own culture, a culture “on the edge.” This issue features the best poetry, short fiction, and creative nonfiction—all by writers 57 and older.

Fairy Tale Review
Number 9, 2013
This issue is themed around yellow: the color of my skin, my namesake, the color used to describe four billion plus Asians, and this doesn’t even account for the diasporic population. Yellow, the color of diseased skin and diseased people. Yellow, the color of aging. All these denigrations contained in one color, none of which actually resemble the color itself. Because yellow is bright. It is electric. It inspires. And the works in this issue are as effulgent as yellow itself, but lurking—as yellow always lurks—is something sinister and bold, the color forcing itself up and out, revealing, transforming. Yellow yields metamorphosis.
