The Greatest Literary Project of All Time...Guaranteed.
Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird!  It's a plane! It's a fleet of angry nouns finally fed up with unnecessary adjectives! 

No, it's The Ampersand. Faster than a prom-night virgin, more powerful than his pimply lust.  Able to leap mountainous pretentions with a single "Ha!".  When the clouds of evil and boredom gather and the literary world seems again doomed to fall to academic ennui on one side, hipster detachment on the other, and mindless storybook munch-munchers all around, The Ampersand will, again, be there to save the day. The long-awaited fourth installment of The Literary Adventure of a Lifetime is finally here - the fattest, the sexiest, shinier than a new Camaro and with more Giant Cartoon Mouses than Ever Before! Holy lawsuits, Ampersand!

Guest Poetry Editor Danny Lawless has combed through hundreds of submissions, exercising his supernatural powers of irrefutable taste to bring you an exciting array of poetic talent certain to banish winter gargoyles huddling outside your window.  The fiction editors bring a raunchy collection of the unbelievable, the quirky, and the strange.  It's a wide-ranging issue of raunch and road-kill, swingers and circuses, of mice and mammaries.

Ampersand Books is proud to announce the newest member of the Literary Justice League, J. Bradley, with his first collection, Dodging Traffic.  The exciting lineup of superheroes continues to grow, read on, dear readers.  The obsessive writers of this world depend on you.

                                     Sincerely,
                                           The Ampersand
