The prize-winning journal is published at Long Island University and edited by C.W. Post English Professor Emeritus Martin Tucker. This latest issue of Confrontation features four letters from Colette to friend and confidant Francoise Berge. Each letter portrays the art of everyday life, the small amenities that partake in the making of humanity and history.
English translations appear on the facing pages.
The Colette letters set the tone for the entire 1999 issue of Confrontation . Love plays the dominant role in the stories and poems that fill the 298-page anthology. Among the contributors are Kenneth Bernard, Aurelie Sheehan, Niles Goldstein, Karen Heuler, Richard Kostelanetz, Curt Leviant, Jane Mayhall, Walter McDonald, Sandy McIntosh, D.H. Melhem, Lee Mhatre, Joan Murray, Lynda Schor, Tom Stacey, Judith Taylor, David Y. Todd, Martin Tucker and Susan Vreeland.
