Sneak preview

The winter/spring issue of Oregon Literary Review will be online in about a month. One of the featured artists is Jan Baross. I've known Jan as a playwright-filmmaker-photographer for twenty years. Now her first novel is out, and I've also been introduced to her paintings. We're featuring an interview with her, excerpts from the novel. her Mexico paintings, and a cancer journal accompanied by paintings.


The latter are extraordinary, a series of paintings she did in response to her bout with breast cancer five years ago. I've posted a couple of them here as teasers. Jan is one multi-faceted, talented lady.

I am confident this is going to be a very fine issue. We're also featuring work and an interview with OyamO, as mentioned here before, a playwright I admire greatly. And the new music again is first rate, plus we expand musical focus to include the folk guitar and songs of Jim Wylie. Plus nonfiction, art, poetry -- looking good!
