In addition to aubades and sonnets from Tana Jean Welch, Traci Brimhall, Roy Jacobstein and John Yau, there are poetry offerings in this issue from Robert Cording, Mary Oliver, Charles Simic, Bob Hicok, Rita Dove, Jay Rogoff and many more. Short fiction includes stories by Ivonne Lamazares’s “Hostal Jamil,” of leaving things behind; Justin Quarry’s “Test-Drive Baby,” of adjustments; Steve Davenport’s “Rivers to Gilead,” meditations on things gone wrong; Victoria Patterson’s “Winter Formal,” of brokenness; and George Singleton’s “What Are the Odds?” of a dog sitter. Nonfiction in this issue includes an essay, “Hand-me-down War Stories” by Jerry D. Mathes II reflecting on his family and how his father’s service in Vietnam affected their lives, a wonderful discussion of “Family Feet” by Peggy Shinner and more. Art for this issue comes from American artist John J. O’Connor’s dynamic, colored pencil drawings, which are visual representations of language, chance and experimentation. Through idiosyncratic and entirely invented systems, he converts what is ordinarily invisible into visual representations that reveal patterns of speech and events. The Southern Review is pleased to welcome a new managing editor, Cara Blue Adams. Adams comes to The Southern Review from the University of Arizona at Tucson. Founded in 1935 by Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks, The Southern Review is published four times a year on the campus of LSU. For more information, contact Leslie A. Green, The Southern Review business manager at 225- 578-5104 or lgreen@lsu.edu. -30- |
