Based in coastal California, this journal is influenced by the natural beauty of the land and water, and the surrounding agricultural lands and open space. Prose, poetry, and art come from contributors near and far, young and old, across the globe. Volume 9 features an extraordinary range, from poet Forrest Gander’s translation of María Baranda’s “Dylan and the Whales,” to artist Jon Ching with his bizarre and beautiful “Indestructible.”
