This issue features two excellent sonnets -- one fantasy, one non-fantasy-- by Stefandom's Newest Poet, James Russell Gray. Gray's work last Mailing was in SAPPHO. He is on a sort of slumming expedition here in PHANNY; but int he very best slum circles, of course! Hope you like his two poems as well as I do.
And of course, I hope you like "Realities." This was a new sort of writing experience for PHANNY'S Boss, and a very enjoyable one. I suspect the two first stanzas, at least, express the feeling of a good many men -- yes, and women, too -- in jobs like mine.
"Banquet on Black Bayou"is an attempt to make clear to all and sundry, just how I'm affected by the general run of poetry and fiction of the weird of the horrible, when presented in the conventional patterns, and differentiated from the "modern fairy tales" which made up the best of the stories in UNKNOWN.
The cover this time is an example of what can be done with junk. It was printed on a roll of partly-exposed sensitized white-print paper which had been lying around the office for well nigh onto two y'ars. The contrast isn't enough for the line drawings, but is sufficient for the purpose to which I put the paper. I think the effect is a little better than it would be if the letters were pure white. Which is all I got room for this time. (The TOC is a big help, that way!)
