Lavishly color-illustrated, the 2012 volume of "Moon City Review" centers on children's literature and its increasingly blurry borderlands. MCR 2012 offers a variable feast of poetry, fiction, criticism, graphic arts, and "archival treasures" by Rose O'Neill, Robert Wallace, and Young E. Allison (author of "Derelict" or "Dead Man's Chest"), all for and/or about children and young adults. Contributors include D. Gilson, David Harrison, Jean Stringam, and Laura Lee Washburn.

The 2010 volume of Moon City Review takes "speculative futures" as its special theme, emphasising utopian, diastopic, sci-fi and fantasy literature and criticism. In addition, MCR 2010 includes original poetry by Jim Daniels, Jeannine Hall Gailey, and Alysse Hotz; fiction by Juned Subhan, Nancy Gold, Ted Chiles, and Pete Duval; criticism by Landis Duffett; and creative nonfiction by Julie Platt. The "Archival Treasures" section continues its exploration of Ozarks-born artist and creator of the Kewpie, Rose O'Neill. New to this volume is a translations section, which includes Hernan Mugoya's short story, "El Fantasma," translated by Nikki Settlemeyer; and poetry by Per Aage Brandt, translated by Thomas Satterlee.

Jim W. Corder will be remembered by students and colleagues at Texas Christian University for his writing, teaching, and original thinking. He was one of the most influential composition specialists of his generation - his ""Handbook of Rhetoric"" went through numerous editions, becoming a classroom staple nationwide - yet he gave his final years to the 'fourth genre' of creative nonfiction. His numerous publications include ""Lost in West Texas"" (1988), ""Chronicle of a Small Town"" (1989), and ""Yonder: Life on the Far Side of Change"" (1992).
