News and views from the Literary sin
Rush Hour (810.8 R89 v.1) is the title of the new "cutting-edge literary journal of contemporary voices" edited by Michael Cart and published by Random House; "Sin" is the theme of the inaugural issue.
Within these pages, find stories by Joan Bauer, Brock Cole, and Chris Lynch, essays by Marc Aronson and Hazel Rochman, poetry by Nikki Grimes and Sonya Sones, art by R. Gregory Christies and Mark Podwal, and much more. The theme was chosen because of its relevance "to a world ridden by guilt and riven by conflict that, though sometimes secular, more often seems rooted in religious belief -- and disbelief."
My fear about this appealing little book is that it will be hard to find on our shelves once it leaves the limelight of the new book shelf. It so deserves to be thumbed through, discovered, passed around.
