<p>The biannual journal's stated mission "is to widen the scope of artistic representation within the printed world by combining literary and visual presences." The first issue included contributions from such notables as Charles Bock, Anne Waldman, Jonathan Letham &amp; Dean Haspiel, Mark Borthwick, Kimiko Yoshida, Donald Moss, and James Frey. The second issue has just been released, bigger and better than the first, a compendium of fiction, poetry, comics, photography, art, and other ramblings from authors and artists who mostly hail from Brooklyn. Beautifully designed by Michael Fusco, Issue Number Two opens with, appropriately enough, George Emilio Sanchez's "Shalom," a brief story about his heritage, and includes such other highlights as David Hollander's absurdist, futuristic "The Limits of Bioinformatics and the Problematic of Meaninglessness: A Case Study"; Stanley Crouch's "A Darkie French Princess," about a young man fighting the expectations that come with art, athletics, the quest for knowledge, and skin tone; and Stephen Elliott's sex diary, "Selections from the Daily Rumpus." Tierney Gearon's "The Haircut" creates a touching narrative through a suite of six photographs of a naked mother giving her young son a haircut with a stunning vista behind them, while Anthony Barboza's "Black Dreams / White Sheets" consists of ten photos in which ten black men, women, and a child are shown lying in different positions on a mattress, shot from directly above. Amelie Mancini's talk about her newfound love of baseball is accompanied by her David Hockney-inspired paintings of such Hall of Famers as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Tom Seaver. And the Comix Blox, curated by Haspiel, includes tasty tidbits from Michel Fiffe, Tim Hamilton, and Haspiel himself.</p>
