Editor’s Note
For the second issue of Ninth Letter, our primary goal has been to avoid duplicating our first issue. Our mission above all is to refuse to succumb to the comfort of an established, test-driven format or to confine ourselves to a single definition of literature. So things are a bit different this second time around, and in forthcoming issues (be warned) they’ll be different yet again. For Volume 1 issue 2, we’ve experimented with alternative media and interactivity with ninthletter.com; we’ve also included some special items for readers and collectors. Go ahead and turn to the contributors’ notes first, as I know many of you already do. You’ll find some interesting facts about each of our featured writers and poets, collected in a handy tear-and-save format. And in honor of our limited-edition contributors’ cards, we’ve compiled below nine facts unique to this issue of Ninth Letter.
Thanks for reading, and enjoy.
