Product Description

Revving up and shifting into top gear, The MacGuffin takes the first lap of volume 41 with the asemic art of Gregory Stump. Poet Liz Marlow returns to our pages via different terrain with “Rosa Leaves Kyiv on a Riverboat,” and after riding with Andrew Collard’s “Coffee Truck,” we get out on a hike with Dixie Partridge. Intimated by Tina Tocco’s narrative recipe “Results May Vary,” this issue’s prose selections mix together disparate characters into a rich minestrone served up by head chefs Andrew Nickerson, Angie Curneal Palsak, and Alina Zollfrank, with musical accompaniment from Ryan Bender-Murphy.
