Our Thermopylae

You know what the problem is with that whole computer and internet thing It's too big and it's really hard to read. I mean seriously, would you have ever read any of your favorite books if you were forced to strain your eyes looking at a computer monitor for hours and hours Hell, would you have even found that book in the first place if you first had to sift through an onslaught of pamphlets selling you Viagra and stock deals Probably not! Due to these technological difficulties we are safely assuming you have never heard of or read in any great length the writing that is collected within these pages. But that's where this little blue book comes in. Inside this issue you will find a handpicked collection of essays and fiction written originally for two blogs operated by The Means literary journal editors: Invisible Summer and Intercepted Communiques from the Field. Best of all, you don't have to look for them or kill your eyes reading them. Enjoy!
