  This anthology of 105 poems and 15 short stories by American writers reflects the evolution of Crazyhorse , from its beginnings in Los Angeles in 1960 as a small, politically focused literary magazine, to its present incarnation as mainstream academic journal.

  Tampa Review 40, Ed: First

  by Clifford Garstang

  Joseph Colonna, winner of the fourth annual Danahy Fiction Prize, opens the window of this issue with "So Much Fun It's Scary," a story in which a family home is sold, then later reclaimed and restored to duplicate its original decor. Colonna raises questions about how we shape and are shaped by the home environment and places a tragicomic spin on the American literary idea that "you can't go home again."
