When I first moved to Chicago, one of the magazines that stood out among the hundred or so local publications was HYPHEN--these people seemed to have a direction, a focus, and some of the best artists and writers in the city. In this issue, Margaret Lewis' story "Little Marks" captures a bar pickup scenario in Tangiers from a woman's point of view; Tito Salomoni's paintings create surrealistic scenes that would have made Dali jealous; and a collage by Michele Gambetta (combining a real squirrel's lower body with the head half of a fish) made the beer dance uncomfortably in my stomach. And that's just the first half of the issue.--oberc
