For over twenty years AL&C has been dedicated to publishing a literary annual promoting innovative and “difficult” writing. AL&C inaugurated its book imprint in 2009. We are immensely grateful to the Oppenheimer Foundation of Houston and to both the English Department and The College of Liberal and Fine Arts at The University of Texas at San Antonio for their generous support of the journal. The views expressed in our publications, however, are not necessarily those of UTSA, its administration, its employees, or its students, nor are they necesarrily the views of AL&C’s editors, its board of directors, its volunteers, or its donors. |

What if your dreams could be given a material life of their own? What if your recollections of them were so vivid that, more than just recounting their logic, you could transcribe them visually for your reader? That’s precisely what poet Amy England does in this stunning text and image collection. Her collages and dioramas are constructed from fabric and paper scraps, from the debris of conscious life. In this subconscious geography, we travel through the nightmares of the political, the paranoia of the responsible, and the tragedy of the critically aware.

Frank Rogaczewski's |

Straight from the near west suburbs of Sandburgland, Frank Rogaczewski explodes the less than brave new world we’ve unfortunately arrived at. The Fate of Humanity in Verse sears through the vast gaps of capitalism and pop culture in multi-page paragraphs of pure invention. It is quite simply, to borrow two of Rogaczewski’s titles, an “Arse Poetica” for “The Day They Outsourced America.” — Mark Nowak |
|||
There is an uncanny sense of play in Frank Rogaczewski’s poetry and a quick, speculative intelligence that holds nothing to be either sacred or uninteresting. Movies, philosophy, television, literature, literary theory, comics, and classic rock, they’re all engaged here, banked and bangled into each other like balls in a three-dimensional billiards game.
— Michael Anania
