Tinfish 16 is a collaborative issue with Trout, an on-line journal out of Honolulu and New Zealand, edited by Robert Sullivan, Anne Kennedy, Tony Murrow, and Brian Flaherty (www.trout.auckland.ac.nz). Both journals specialize in Pacific poetries; some of the authors have appeared in both publications, but most are new to one or the other.

This issue features work by Hinemoana Baker, Cherie Barford, Linh Dinh, Murray Edmond, Kari Edwards, David Eggleton, Glenn Mott, Eileen Myles, Kit Robinson, Hazel Smith, Juliana Spahr, Richard von Sturmer, and Mark Wallace, as well a review of John Kinsella by John Rieder.  And much more! Wonderful translations from the Chinese of Huang CanRan, Shang Qin and others. Each cover of the Tinfish paper version is unique, a slipcover map designed and made by Lee Vanderkooi. Interior art by San Shoppell and centerfold by Thomas Wasson, designer of our roofing paper cover issue 13.

Cover is designed by Jung Kim, who momentarily forgot that we westerners read from left to right. So this issue will run both from back to front, and front to back. Features lots of translations from Chinese poetry, as well as the usual mix of Australian, New Zealand, Hawai`i, and west coast innovative poetry.
