New Confrontation Issue Focuses on Distance
Distance can be defined in many ways; it can be geographical, physical,
psychological, or spiritual.
The many sides and asides of distance-its triumph of perspective, its
victory and its pain-are traveled and held up to view in the new issue of
Confrontation, a prize-winning literary journal published at Long Island
University, and edited by C.W. Post Campus English Professor Emeritus Martin
Tucker.
The 382-page issue, Elsewheres: FAR-SITE-ness, NEAR-SITE-ness, OUT-OF-SITE-ness,
is a special book-length double issue centered around the theme of "Elsewhere"---that
is, the many sites and scenes of distance. The anthology includes stories,
essays, memoirs, poems, reviews and critical commentary.
Among the writers whose work appear in the issue are Stephen Dixon, Philip
Appleman, Roberta Allen, D.H. Melhem, Kate Light, Barry Targan, Siv Cedering,
Wendall Mayo, Edmund Pennant, Albert Russo, Brenda Webster, Georgia Shreve,
Marguerite Bouvard, Gerald Williams, Leslie Schenk, Rachel Carpenter, Delores
H. Netzband, Alexandra Shelley, Waithira Mbuthia, David Margolis, Sylvia
de Swaan, Emil Draitser, Edwin Honig, Nat Lehrman, Frances Maclean, Karen
Wunsch, Steven Sher, Johanna Garfield, Carl Rollyson, Linda K. Harris and
David Winwood.
