Abstract: Special features of this issue include the first interview and the first photo-poetry essay published by After Hours. From the publisher’s introduction:

In our logo we have called ourselves "a journal of Chicago writing and art." The Chicago school of literature is very much like the people, the politicians, the style, the neighborhoods, of the city that inspires an artistic voice that is direct, unpretentious, aware of the realities and inequalities of materialism yet sentimental in a streetwise-front-stoop-backyard sort of way. So often Chicago is thought of as unrefined or unsophisticated… a city of big-shouldered thugs, scandal, dirty alleys, and factory workers. But what Chicago lacks in polish, it makes up for in honesty. Chicago writers pull no punches. Chicago writers find a beauty in big-shouldered thugs, scandal, dirty alleys, and factory workers.
