10th anniversary issue of
Sycamore Review now available

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The latest edition of Purdue University's award-winning national literary journal, "Sycamore Review," is available now.

The Summer/Fall 1998 edition, Volume 10, Number 2, features fiction by Doris Dorrie (translated by Gustav A. Richar), Lucia Perillo and Jamey Hecht and poetry by Mark Halliday, Billy Little, Joshua Clover, Bill Knott and David Cameron.

An eight-page selection of art by Lafayette artist Hilary Eddy and an in-depth interview with British playwright Howard Barker also are included. In a previous issue, the "Sycamore Review" published an excerpt from Barker's 24-hour play "The Ecstatic Bible."

Writer Ivor Irwin's essay on the ethics of adopting Romanian orphans rounds out this issue with a slightly more journalistic approach than the magazine's usual creative non-fiction pieces.

Copies of the "Sycamore Review" are available on campus from the journal's office in Room 442 of Heavilon Hall and also at the Stewart Center Service Desk. Priced at $7 each, the magazine also may be purchased at various locations in the Lafayette area, including Von's Book Shop, Lafayette Museum of Art and Little Professor Book Center.

"Sycamore Review" is published twice a year. Subscriptions are $10 a year, and the rate will increase to $12 in August. Back issues also are available.

"Sycamore Review" is a nonprofit journal for the arts, published twice a year by Purdue's Department of English. Founded in 1988, the journal is maintained by the Ann Griffith Lindsey Memorial Fund. Additional funding is received through the Indiana Arts Commission, the Purdue English Department and the School of Liberal Arts, in addition to private contributions.
