Review

Point of Contact's 30th Anniversary Issue is compelling, extremely brave, and most impressive. As editor, Pedro Cuperman has splendidly accomplished the difficult and subtle task of making the two American hemispheres converse about the best and most novel that they have, the most adventurous and venturous, the swiftest, the future, the intriguing and mysterious. A magnificent coat of arms takes shape in the extraordinary selection of names and writings, a discourse in originality. Point of Contact can only ascend in its own synthesis, vision and generosity as it continues on its path, ever more lucid and vital. My sincere reverence and enthusiasm for this accomplished work. - Ivonne Bordelois, Linguist, poet, whose recent work El pais nos habla, received the Essay Award by La Nacion and Editorial Sudamericana in 2006, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
