Numbers, what a concept. Humanity
loves to count. We count up, we count down.We
measure distance, time, quantity, quality, cold,
heat. Life is meaningless without numbers, even
to the editorial staff here at the humble offices
of the Claremont Review.
Yes, even here the urge to enumerate
thrives. This is our tenth issue, and the miraculous
fact, its sheer mathematical impact leaves us speechless...well
almost. We still need to tell you how speechless.
We take pride in knowing that
we provide a vehicle for the voices of young artists
at a time in their lives when encouragement and
incentive are vital.

Interview Excerpt
I think writing or becoming a
writer, is an individual journey, and it's different
for everyone. In the end, I think being driven to
write is more important than talent. Looking back
I realize how little I knew and how little that
mattered. I just plunged in and wrote. Patricia
