Issue 114: To List Is Human114 cover

"Clearly the list knows no limits, nimbly crossing all boundaries between pop culture and more erudite artistic pursuits, while also steadfastly and stubbornly appearing in purses, pockets, and DayTimers everywhere, on fridge doors, paper napkins, and the backs of envelopes throughout the known world. I would hardly be surprised if, upon the eventual discovery of life on other planets, the aliens came forth clutching their lists in their little green hands." ----Diane Schoemperlen, Guest Editor.
