Just kidding! Hyphen only publishes the best, especially since we have so little space (only one story and one or two poems per issue.)

Actually, you better watch out, you better not cry, 'cuz the baton is being passed and I'm stepping down as literatary editor. I'm telling you why: Barbara Jane Reyes, zee poet herself, is taking over lit for Issue Eight and she is a real, book-published writer, not a one-story hack like me. Plus, she gots some scary energy on her.

I'm looking forward to the sudden sharp increase in poetry published in Hyphen. I'm looking forward to Barb's inevitably different take on fiction. And I'm fascinated to see whom she reels into her velvet creel. Start sweatin', ladies and gents; there's a new sheriff in town!

We are looking for:
Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Drama, and uncategorizable Experimental Sh*t: do it! send it in!

Please forward this post far and wide, to all the Asian American writers you know, and some you don't.
