Product Description

This issue of The MacGuffin truly ROCKS, as embodied by the sculptures of Mark Yale Harris, this issue’s featured artist. We keep on rocking throughout the text with Larry Thacker’s “Moon Rock” handling the pyrotechnics and fog, while Kate Garklav’s “Garden Gems” and K. J. Stevens’s “Killdeer” both keep things glam with specimens that sparkle and shine like the ballrooms of Mars. We end up rocking maybe a little too hard with Steve McDonald’s poem “Marine Layer,” necessitating Suzanne Scarfone’s “I give you the balm” before we lay low and recuperate for a week in Alex Moersen’s super-sized “Digestion, Texas.”

*All MacGuffin orders ship via USPS Media Mail.
