Second Quarterly Review: The Editors’ Choices from issues 189-201 appear next week as an unnumbered issue. It will also contain Lewayne L. White’s interview of Jerry Wright and Don Webb.
The second part of the poetry discussion, begun in issue 199, is also rescheduled for the Review. Our apologies for the delay: we seem to be having dimensional problems, particularly with time and space.
