After periodic postponements due to permissions request and submissions delays (as well as stemming from the editor’s job transition and off and on health concerns), we are finally releasing the long-awaited Felino Soriano Tribute Issue, arriving almost a year to his untimely passing in October 2018. We are pleased to present scribes and artists of great caliber who pay homage to the unfathomably gifted Felino Soriano, whose departure leaves a gaping hole in the world of verse. Within these pages, we read tribute poems and prose by:

Heath Brougher
Alicia Mathias
Luis Cuauhtémoc Berriozábal
Marianne Szlyk
Catfish McDaris
Alan Britt
Sheila Murphy
Eileen Tabios
Scott Thomas Outlar

Patricia Carragon
Annmarie Lockhart
Chani Zwibel
John Dorsey

Vernon Frazer
Lars Palm
Alan Corkish
Michael Annis
Rus Khomutoff
Virgil Kay

We also read Felino interviews, collaborations and correspondence by:

Clockwise Cat
Jamez Chang
First Literary Review – East (Editor Cindy Hochman)
David Reed
Nostrovia! Press (Editor Jeremiah Walton)
Ditch (Interviewer Kane X. Faucher)
Rus Khomutoff

And, finally, we peruse verse by the precious poet himself, tracing his fascinating evolution from one who attempted to “eschew cliche” to one who went well beyond his goal to forge one of the most astonishing lyrical lexicons in recent memory.
