Another Chicago Magazine Issue 49
Bestiarium Vocabulum
Here begins an examination of the nature of beasts.
Of lions and panthers and tigers,
wolves and foxes,
dogs and apes.
Of poets and fictioneers
and graphic design mavens,
lurkers and disreputable types,
hyenas and scalawags,
and all of the mean, lean, mangy, hidebound skinny, worthless cattle in every particular drove.
Thus begins the newest issue of Another Chicago Magzine.
Featuring the works of Erika Mikkalo, a translation of Manuel Silva Acevedo's Lobo y Ovejas, three short plays by Fred Sasaki, the 2009 Chicago Literary Award Winners and much, much more!
Illustrated by Rob Funderburk with additional works by Aaron Shimer and Jenny Inzerillo
