The writers in our Fall 2020 issue have captured so much of the grief and chaos of the present moment in deeply personal ways and with so much beauty. I feel stunned by and grateful for their work.
Issue 20 features new poetry and short prose by Paul David Adkins, Katherine Anderson Howell, Kerry Carnahan, Sarah Cavar, Ifoghale Eguwe, Nathaniel Lee Hansen, Jeremy T. Karn, Avery Kerr, Susan L. Leary, Danelle Lejeune, Sarah Lilius, Aaron Magloire, Devon Miller-Duggan, Cameron Morse, Simon Perchik, Kimberly Ramos, Liz Boltz Ranfeld, Susan Rich, Gretchen Rockwell, Grace Q. Song, Brooke Stanish, and Sunita Theiss.
The pedagogy papers in this issue include full lesson plans: Elizabeth Jorgensen offers a multi-day schedule for teaching students the Korean poetic form sijo, and E. K. Taylor provides an exercise for teaching style by having students remove eleven features of style.
Thanks to Julian Day, Kim Jacobs-Beck, Mary Anna Kruch, and Livia Meneghin for providing this issue’s reviews, which take us inside of recent poetry collections by Kiki Petrosino, Megan Mary Moore, Cheryl Caesar, and Khaled Mattawa.
We hope these pieces speak to you and linger with you through the season to come. Please take good care of yourselves and others. If you enjoy this issue and are able, please tip the authors whose pages have a “Tip the Author” link under the bio. Thanks for reading.
