With our Summer 2024 edition of Catamaran we hope to take you on a vacation through our pages, or keep you company as you escape the heat at home. This issue of Catamaran contains an interview with our 2023 poetry prize winner, a story in translation, twelve poets, seven fiction authors, seven nonfiction authors, and nine visual artists. Whether it be to a tropical island or a bookstore near the Monterey Wharf, we hope this edition inspires and takes you on a wondrous journey.
