Volume 14 of the Santa Barbara Literary Journal explores the in-between places while also celebrating our very own liminal space, known to locals as Noleta. 32 poets and writers

contribute poetry and fiction, with a special guest essay about Noleta by former Santa Barbara Poet Laureate David Starkey.

This issue features the painting "Conversing Trees" by Robin Gowen on the cover, with sketches from the artist throughout the volume.
