Darkmorning • shortstory by Sydney J. Van Scyoc - a very good story about a small group of colonists stranded on a planet, and two youths in particular. Some are slowly evolving over the centuries. Are they still humans, or is it human to change?
Vacation on the Moon • shortstory by Martin Gardner - a kind of a puzzle for the reader to catch all the science errors in the story. fun
Heritage • shortstory by Joanne Mitchell - This was a cute little story about the selling of heritage.
Hark, Hark, the Quark! • poem by Grant Carrington
Martian Walkabout • shortstory by F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre - I was never a big fan of the stories by this author that I would run across. I read this once long ago and decided to skip reading it again. Odd author. I don't think you could believe anything he may have said. His death was reported in a lengthy NY Times piece which mentions this story and magazine issue. https://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/12/nyregion/12froggy.html
Storyteller • shortstory by Ardis Waters - this was the author's only published story. Four friends on another planet rely on Sherry the storyteller to keep them awake. Not much to this one - kind of a filler story.
Psycho-Stars • First shortstory by Rory Harper - God has been missing. He shows up in the newspaper room to talk to the science editor. Stuff happens. Cute enjoyable short.
Cosmic Cowboys • poem by Peter Payack - kinda cute. The author has been providing poems to Asimov's magazine for over 40 years
One Kidnapped Clicka • shortstory by John Kelly - an allegory, this one was good and also very sad. A young Clicka is captured and taken from her family, taken off her planet. Much later she is rescued from her captors and efforts are made to disentangle her from humans and she is returned to her home and family. But she can never assimilate even though she tried.
Missing the Points • shortstory by Chuck McMichael - a one page story which essentially could be told by a stand-up comedian, complete with the punny punchline. This was the author's first and only sale to a science fiction magazine.
The Book of Baraboo • Circus World • novella by Barry B. Longyear - A story set in Longyear's Circus World series. This story and others by Longyear that appeared in other issues of the magazine made me a fan of the author for several years and I eagerly looked forward to the stories. I believe most or all of this story was incorporated into one of the Circus World novels. It is a circus in space story and more than a little zany. Upon re-reading it 40 years later I wondered that I really thought it was so good at the time. Tastes change, but this is still a good story that I enjoyed again and still a fond memory.
In the real world, there is a City of Baraboo and a Circus World in Wisconsin. ( )
