Damon Krukowski and Jill Magi met electronically in the process of putting together this arresting epistolary exchange—a piece that, through its invention of a textured, polyphonic prose combining elements from each author’s ongoing interdisciplinary pursuits, inspired our current Stereo Series. Part collage, part medley, part paralogue, part tapestry, No Longer Inside Our Own Circles, with its quiet concentricities, its sometimes symmetrics, continuously offers, in Magi’s terms, yet “another example of narrative alongside abstraction.”
