Review of OCHO #16

Speaking of curating publication, many thanks to Neela Banerjee, managing editor of Hyphen magazine, for her quick and lovely review of OCHO #16, in which she likens the poetry journal to a mixed tape your best friend has made for you:

I’ve been reading OCHO #16 on the bus to and from work for the past week and, let me tell you, there is nothing more delicious than losing yourself in a really good poem during a short and sunny bus ride. Like a well-planned mix tape that your best friend made you in 8th grade, Reyes chooses from the Bay Area’s finest talents like the always luscious Jaime Jacinto, the fierce Truong Tran and the politically beautiful Mathew Shenoda. It was also my first chance to read Hyphen contributor Ching-in Chen’s work which hauntingly tells of the misadventures of a Chinese American girl named Xiaomei. Another real treat is the first three scenes of Jessica Hagedorn’s recently produced play Fe in the Desert.
