We’re thrilled to announce Issue 2 of Whale Road Review! As one contributor said after reading a sneak preview, “It really feels like spring in there.”

This issue features new poetry and short prose by Cynthia Anderson, Ace Boggess, Thomas E. Caraway, Theresa Chumacero, Barbara Crooker, Clair Dunlap, Chad Gusler, Matt Hohner, Michael Levan, Devon Miller-Duggan, Debasis Mukhopadhyay, Jessica Piazza, Kaytie Rose Thomas, Tara Nicole Todd, Donna Vorreyer, and Terry Wolverton.

For teachers, Karen Craigo offers some alternatives to the traditional workshop, N. West Moss shares an open letter to her creative writing students about their “easy A” mentality, and Forrest Roth suggests a flash technique based in replica.

Ruth Foley reviews Garden Effigies by Sara Henning, and Ken Hada reviews Lifted to the Wind: Poems 1974-2015 by Susan Gardner.

We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we do!
