Welcome to the Summer 1998 issue of the Friend. (We will return to our monthly publication schedule in September.)

Jen Hofer is preparing an anthology of avant garde poetry by Mexican women. This month's Report features her translations of three poems by poet Ana Belén López.
Built around an excerpt from The Black Book by Orhan Pamuk and texts by Leonard Schwartz & Heather Ramsdell, Joe Eliott provides this month's contribution to Mote. (The links in Pamuk's text allow you to maneuver between the various layers.)
Taking an early vacation this month are the Critical Dictionary & the Dialectic, while we introduce a new section called Schizmata. Schizmata will offer works written for multiple voices. This month's work is by Heather Fuller.
