50 years Celebration

Happy Birthday New Contrast!

New Contrast is 50 years old.  New Contrast was first started in 1960 by Jack Cope and has been going ever since.  We have had our ups and downs, but we are getting there and have plans to make it available electronically, like on mp3, Kindle, and so on.  
 
We have a bumper issue with some poetry and stories from the first issue as well as more contemporary literature. Issue 152 has 150 pages chock-full of interesting writing.
 
We hope you will enjoy it as much as we did producing it.
 
Many happy returns!!!
