PRESENT AT THE REVOLUTION - THE BIOGRAPHY OF GORDON ANDERSON

Joanne L. Schweik

Driftwood, is a literary journal of voices from afar. Driftwood is an exercise in curiosity, a journal whose focus is on the world beyond our own confines. We find the world way too interesting and humanity far too complex to be defined exclusively by one culture’s point of view. There's a wealth of incredibly talented writers out there whose work is simply not being translated nor published simply because they speak of a world which we're not familiar with. We're encouraged by the recent successes of authors such as: Ha Jin, Edwidge Danticat, Orhan Pamuk, who have proved that there is definetely an appetite for such works. Ultimately, we’d like for Driftwood to be a platform for unexpected voices from unexpected places.

Driftwood: A Literary Journal of Voices from Afar

The poetry in this issue conjures the most intimate and the most communal moments of our lives, ranging from the quiet desperation of a prayer to the far-reaching longing for cultural and familial heritage. Wrapping up the issue are visual arts and comics by Janessa Mulepati, Yasuaki Okamoto, Janelle Cordero, Coz Frimpong, and Nick Francis Potter.

"Train-sounds, dew-sounds, sounds from the hair, prayerful sounds and python sounds, fish market then mooncake sounds, sounds of falling into water, sounds of rising from fire-these are the sounds of Village of Knives, a collection that speaks through how much, how closely and imaginatively it listens. The poems here listen to immigrant life and dream, to gendered expectation and subversion, to desire, to the body's surging, briny rhythms. This is a poet who understands the power of paring away the noise to zero in on the music: 'How we turned off all the lights in the house / & fell to our knees / just to hear the sound of bone.'" - Chen Chen, author of WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO BE A LIST OF FURTHER POSSIBILITIES
