We’re proud to present the Fall 2022 issue of Whale Road Review. The creative pieces in this issue feel like they’re taking us on a nature walk from summer into autumn, but these pieces don’t shy away from conversing about recent events like the Uvalde shooting or the Dobbs decision, and the walk is no less beautiful for that.
Issue 28 features poetry and short prose by Ayelet Amittay, Merrill Oliver Douglas, Natalie Giarratano, Merie Kirby, Stefanie Kirby, Yasmin Mariam Kloth, Divyasri Krishnan, Raima Larter, Elizabeth Taryn Mason, Libby Maxey, Julia McConnell, Jennifer Met, Janna Miller, Kathleen Mitchell-Askar, Cameron Morse, Sophie Panzer, Sage, Ron Salisbury, Meghan Sterling, Anastasia Vassos, Donna Vorreyer, Jessica L. Walsh, Dick Westheimer, Brooke White, and Jane Zwart.
The authors of the pedagogy papers in this issue are wildly generous: Laura Malafarina includes several links to her materials for micro-experiments with craft, and Aaron Sandberg offers a group of five exercises that he uses in his writing classes.
In our review section, Alex Carrigan, Irene Cooper, Sonia Greenfield, and Nate Logan give us an inside look at new books by Arden Hunter, Shareen K. Murayama, Amy Gerstler, and Solmaz Sharif. We also have a fantastic interview with Claudia Serea that was conducted by Akram Alkatreb.
We hope you enjoy this issue, and we wish you a safe and lovely fall. Thanks for reading!
