An important quarterly for West Coast writers, ZYZZYVA joins an elite handful of literary magazines in celebrating a tenth anniversary. In honor of that celebration, a collection of the journal's greatest pieces from 1985-1994 has been assembled. Edited by the journal's founder, Howard Junker, it is a valuable anthology of contemporary writing in the Pacific states. Anti-canonic and quirky in the best West Coast tradition, this anthology helps define a place, a time, a way of life, and a community.
