What a feast of voices are represented in this issue’s nonfiction! Identity, grief, learning, regret, all situated in the realm of memory, the only dimension where what has happened, and who has since passed on, still exists, for better and for worse. Enjoy!
And we have an announcement to make! The much anticipated novel, Horsefever, by award-winning fiction writer and our editor-in-chief, Lee Hope, is forthcoming from New Rivers Press on Feb. 15, 2016. Stay tuned for more announcements. Go to leehopebooks for more info!
