Steadfast Trekkers

A bizarre, formless man unsettles a mathematician in Mumbai. In Thailand, a rough journey by ferry turns into a chaotic roller-coaster ride of misery and despair for returning partygoers. And in Indonesia, villagers come to the aid of a foreign scientist stung by a scorpion, and a pleasure-seeker bravely suffers a traditional vein massage. The latest anthology, STEADFAST TREKKERS, is packed heavy with sharp, stimulating poetry and vibrant, entertaining prose.

From macabre train passengers in England, and determined car mechanics in Portugal, to strange taxicabs rides in Japan, and ghastly boat travel in Thailand, we proudly present the work of Joe Albanese, Charles Joseph Albert, Elaine Barnard, Roland Barnes, AN Block, Scott Dominic Carpenter, Rob Dinsmoor, Mary Donaldson-Evans, Brennen Fahy, Karen Fayeth, Sharon Frame Gay, Kenneth P.
