====== Overview ======

This "statement" carefully positions the journal as having a purpose that exceeds that of a traditional academic journal, "where tribal poetry can appear in English translation & can act (in the oldest &
newest of poetic traditions) to change men's minds & lives."  In particular, the jounral emphasizes interdisciplinarity and takes the position that "tribal poetries [should be presented] as values in themselves rather than as ethnographic data."
