Winter 2020 Issue Out Now!

This year The Southern Review celebrates its eighty-fifth birthday, and our winter 2020 issue begins the party with voices both familiar and new. Joan Silber returns to our pages with the tale of two sisters who return to America after a childhood in Nepal in “The Overland Trail,” while novelist Kevin Wilson recalls a young man’s unlikely friendship with his oddball science teacher in his new story, “Biology.” Viplav Saini pens two poems that speak to some of the indignities of living in the United States, and Joshua Freeman translates five poems from Uyghur by Tahir Hamut and the late Ghojimuhemmed Muhemmed. Along with new poems by Beth Bachmann, Jennifer Loyd and Nancy Chen Long, this issue features the sculptures of Mark Chatterley, whose meditative and whimsical work can be found in galleries across the globe.
