Among this issue's features is Joshua Casteel's "Returns," a powerful and important work of drama that reveals the war in Iraq through the eyes and heart of one who was there.

Art opening begins at 5:30 p.m. "The Already Gone Show" features artists from the State of Alaska Attorney General's Office: Joe Cooper, Christine Moore and Monica Jenicek Lyall.

Live music begins at 7 p.m. with ICHIGO-Go-Go (Dan Jaeggi, Scott Fitzpatrick, Jason Burnett and Erika Ninoyu).

There will be readings from AQR's 25th Anniversary issues.
