Call for Papers for pacificREVIEW 2020 - OPEN NOW!

SYNCHRONOUS
CALL FOR PAPERS | CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Despite our constant unraveling, humans are bound to each other and are continually
finding ways of becoming entangled with one another. Our platonic, romantic, and
paternal bonds of love cause us to belong to each other. This fierce intimacy has the
potential to stretch physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries.

How do humans currently become entangled with each other? How do we love each other?
Hate each other? Cooperate with one another? What connections are condemned and
stigmatized? Should they be? How do our shared experiences enhance our individual
perceptions?

Join us in our celebration and exploration of the ties that bind us together. We invite you to
share about your experience with human bonds and contribute to the pacificREVIEW
2020 issue: synchronous.

Submissions will be accepted until December 20, 2019.

Leon Lanzbom's MFA Thesis, Now Available to the Masses!

click to enlarge
One of our coolest former editors here at pacREV headquarters was the inimitable artist, musician, poet, professor, and comedian Leon Lanzbom.

It's been years since he passed to the next dimension, but we love him all the more with every passing day.  To that end we have made his unpublished MFA thesis available for friends, familia, and fans.  Some pictures from the work appear below and you can order your own copy here for $12 bucks cheap (and free shipping)! Leon would have loved that!  More of his editorial work for SDSU Press and pacificREVIEW appear below the pictures from his thesis.
