Special edition of TriQuarterly - the literary magazine of Northwestern University and of the MA/MFA in Creative Writing program - focused on Chicago. Edited by graduate students in the program, supervised by faculty, and available around the world, TriQuarterly has remained "an international journal of writing, art, and cultural inquiry." (Abstract taken from: http://www.triquarterly.org/about-triquarterly).

Premier issue of a gothic/horror-oriented magazine of fiction, poetry, and art. 43 pages, small amount of advertising.

Poetry combining terse yet vivid imagery with a tone that evokes a particular detachment and a kind of sparse beauty.

Stories and prose, some of which originally appeared in periodicals such as Gallimaufry and Uroboros. Reviewed as "startling" and very graphic at times, his work delves into the horrors of Vietnam, the observation and experience of gritty street life, and the themes of alienation and dehumanization.
