Media Reviews

What an astonishing collection! BAX 2016 goes there and rassles back an orchard of trap doors, sidewinding Up-escalators, and statuaries of agitated calculations. What binds this vital assemblage is discontent: not just with what writing and editing do, but with what living drives us to write. --Douglas Kearney, BAX 2015 guest editor
