Harpur Palate: a Literary Journal

Harpur Palate: a Literary Journal

Volume 5, Number 2 (2006)

The cover of Harpur Palate’s fifth volume, second issue, is adorned with a hyperrealistic, panoramic painting of downtown Binghamton, done by Anthony Brunelli—known locally and internationally for his extraordinarily refined artistry. The contents of this issue, in company with the splendor of its cover, showcase a series of prominent writers, including: Rachel Eliza Griffiths, whose works have appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The Writer’s Chronicle, and a plethora of esteemed literary journals; Sean Thomas Dougherty, author of Broken Hallelujahs, The Blue City, Death Prefers the Minor Keys, and 15 other books; and Jaimee Wriston Colbert, a distinguished professor at Binghamton University and is the winner of the CNY Book Award in Fiction, Indie Excellence Award in Literary Fiction, and was a finalist for the American Fiction prize. The contents of this issue ponder what kind of life can come out of death, how to quantify love, and all the possibilities of an arid desert; all noting the surreal landscapes of being.
