“…lovely, carefully crafted and enticing work…” –Sima Rabinowitz (NewPages.com)

“Over the years this biannual has become a top tier literary magazine. The nonfiction and stories are of a type that snare the reader on the first page, luring, keeping up interest all the way to the end. The poetry, though tending to a touch of the surreal and metaphysical, is the same way. Add a few poetry translations and the always-pithy interviews…and one has a fine few evenings’ reading material.” –Iconoclast Magazine
