Current Issue: Riddle Fence #10
Kym Greeley kicks the issue off with a display of vinyl banana love on our front cover. There is no time left on the meter, so you better get reading.
Careful on the ice now, you will nearly freeze to death with Samuel Thomas Martin.
Mary Walsh and Eliza Robertson examine internal struggle and self-control in domesticated relationships. There is anger there, and confusion, medical issues, and more.
Dana Warren remembers Robbie, a dear friend to St. John’s and many. Robyn Jeffrey’s poetry remembers Lee Bontecou – the artist, life, method, and material.
A look into the past takes a frightening and anxious turn as Karen Angus opens Letters From War – the remains of an old man facing the end of life. And Matt Rader opens a different set of eyes on the passage of time.
There are birds in the memories of Dana Evely and Joanne Merriam – birds in flight, birds on the ground, the stained feathers and bone snap. Phillip Crymble lists the offerings of our land, past and present, as he looks at the generation to come.
José González walks you around the Battery; Phillipa Jones takes you to the fair; Michael Pittman paints a rough fence and uncomfortable inquietude; Will Gill, a white pillar; Doreen Kennedy, an entire library collection; and Rhonda Pelley pulls at your marionette strings.
After all is said and done, Paul Zacharias takes you into the night.
