Oh, readers. Our new Spring 2020 issue is breathtaking. We’re honored to get to share this gorgeous, haunting writing with you.
Issue 18 features new poetry and short prose by Michele Bombardier, Beth Boylan, Ronda Piszk Broatch, Jacob Butlett, Catharina Coenen, Jessica Covil, Meg Eden, Rebecca Edgren, Theresa Senato Edwards, Jeannine Hall Gailey, Robbie Gamble, Dave Harrity, Sonja Johanson, Suzanne Langlois, Cameron Morse, Twila Newey, Dayna Patterson, Bettina Tate Pedersen, Kyle Potvin, and Luci Shaw.
This issue’s pedagogy papers use rating systems in new contexts to enliven creative nonfiction and use a newly created form—the golden shovel—to introduce students to formal poetry. Thanks to Bethany Lee and Jeremy Michael Reed for sharing their work!
This issue also includes insightful reviews of recent poetry collections by Lauren K. Alleyne and Sarah Carey alongside a fascinating interview with Laura Kauffman. Thanks to Hope Fischbach, Alana Pearce, and Jody Collins for sharing their enthusiasm for these books and poets!
We hope this finds you well and able to steal some time to savor these pieces. Thanks for reading.
Love, love, love these poems! They take me outside the confines this pandemic has locked within. Thank you.
Thank you. Take good care!
