Presenting volume 1 of Pontoon, a literary journal featuring fiction and poetry. This issue includes short stories by Alina Stefanescu, Craig Rodgers, Mary Gulino, Meagan Arthur, Holly Rae Garcia, Max Hipp, Austin Ross, Roy Christopher, Maz Do, and Mark Mills, as well as poetry from Leigh Chadwick and Tiffany Belieu and an interview with M.M. Carrigan, editor of Taco Bell Quarterly.
All star cast here. Just happens to be a bunch of people I'm a fan of already. Amazing collection of stories with strong characters and plot and extremely poignant, gut-punch poems. There's also a conversation with M.M. Carrigan, editor of Taco Bell Quarterly, that I wish was twice as long. I don't know if I could pin-point an exact theme to this issue, because each piece feels so unique, yet all of the pieces somehow lurk, which is nicely illuminated by the cover's depiction of bright-versus-shadowy waters and a strange, happy figure floating ominously on the back. All together a great collection!
