I just got a letter from my former colleague, Warwick Sabin, whose current duties include being publisher of the Oxford American, the Southern lit magazine based at UCA.

The letter describes the magazine’s shaky future on the account of the IRS’ insistence for prompt payment in full of a tax debt, among the wreckage left by a former bookkeeper’s alleged embezzlement. On the jump, Warwick lays out the case. Sure he mentions that the IRS is now overseen by a former tax cheat who you might say got a little forbearance from the government. It might be if the Faulkner County prosecutor would get off the dime and prosecute the embezzler, a restitution plan could be worked out to help ease the OA’s problems.
