…the wind is sly, it comes back at night. Skittering across the roof, fretting and pulling at the tiles, it finds cracks….Then the mouths come, stuffed with scorpions, swarming whispers that sting. And I can’t sleep for the pain of it.
Pat Seman from ‘The wind’
Twenty-sixth Issue
Amsterdam Quarterly’s twenty-sixth issue brought in work in six different genres about Borderlands. Headlining AQ26 is photography by Keith Moul. There is an article by Bob Ward about crossing into Germany through a mountain, fiction by David Butler and Pat Seman set in Ireland and Greece respectively, and a Thailand travel memoir by Daniel Hudon. As always, there is a generous portion of poetry in a variety of styles and formats by Elvis Alves, Simon Brod, Ann Cefola, Janice S. Fuller, Claudia Gary, Louis Girón, Gene Groves, Bryan R. Monte, Ian C. Smith, Meryl Stratford, Jon Thompson, Bob Ward, Laura Grace Weldon and Alida Woods. Also in this Borderlands issue are reviews of books set in three different continents including Donna J. Gelagotis Lee’s Intersection on Neptune, Amlanjyoti Goswami’s River Wedding, and Juliet Cutler’s Among the Maasai. Forthcoming, is a review of the Amsterdam Stedelijk’s retrospective of the draw-within-the-lines art of William Crouwel (Mr. Gridnik), which opens at the end of September.
