For the first time, the colophon notes publications that were featured elsewhere first—including Longhouse, The Wormwood Review, and Plucked Chicken. Notes also that the magazine has been “partially” funded by a grant from the Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines via the National Endowment for the Arts, that the magazine is listed in the “Index of American Periodical Verse” published annually by The Scarecrow Press, Inc., and that Telephone is a member of the Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines and the Before Columbus Foundation. Subscription price increases to seven dollars for two issues, and notes “contributions are greatly appreciated.”


Select contributors include: Mary Ferrari, Rachelle Bijou, Elinor Nauen and Rachel Walling in collaboration, Tom Weigel, Susan Howe, Robert Kelly, Susan Cataldo, Lyn Hejinian, Bob Perelman, Steve Abbott, Gary Gach, Dina E. Wernick, Rebecca Brown, George Tysh, Fanny Howe, Peggy Garrison, Larry Goodell, Gerald Dorset, and Leslie Adrienne Miller.
