The new issue of /cream city review/ is set to return from the printer before the first of the year! We'll be shipping out copies to subscribers, libraries and bookshops shortly after. Of course, you can also place an order on our website*.
This issue is our first non-dedicated theme issue. We have a focus on "humor", but you might find writing that is very unfunny, too. Check out the beautiful cover illustration from our Spring 2009 featured artist, Sheila Alvarado , at the top of the right column.
(* We're a bit archaic, in that our institution doesn't allow us to sell issues over online, so you do have to download a PDF and mail us a check. Trust us, we're working on it. You can check out our site for updates and excerpts, as well as submit via our workhorse online submission manager.)
Thanks for reading! And looking forward to comments whenever anyone gets their eyes on an issue.
