Focus Falls Short as Poetry Outshines Prose
The Fall 1959 Focus issue shows brevity with limited good material. Mary Beal's Gloria Mundi stands out among the three short stories, while Sally Friedman’s One Man’s Vision and Norma Klein’s Tele phone Call fall short. Poetry by Sheila Kushner, Ellen Willis, Kathrin Perutz, Lynn Robbin, and Ginger Ullman yields stronger moments, though some pieces lack polish or clarity.
