Issue: Autumn - 2022
The Southern Review’s autumn issue is here, just in
time to help you escape from the blustery weather. Join us on an excursion to
Singapore in the 1970s with an excerpt from Wong Koi Tet’s Dakota, or
plan a trip to an imagined destination with Corbin Muck’s inventive “A
Centennial History of Cascade Depths National Park.” Find out what happens when
all the leaves in a city fall at once in Shen Dacheng’s “A Neutral Affair,” or
plumb the quiet life of a retired couple as they search for a lost cat in
Michael Knight’s “Path through the Wheat Fields.” Olivia Clare Friedman
explores the life of a young boy whose fate is beyond what the most helpful of
strangers can offer in a new poem, “Finding Him,” while Yasmine Ameli’s
“Bedtime Story (8)” reveals the story a mother tells her daughter about her
first job in a florist shop as an immigrant in America. Along with new poems by
Leona Sevick, Gary Fincke, and Bernardo Wade, this issue features the
fantastical drawings of Amber Jensen, whose work seeks to synthesize the
magical colors of flora and fauna into everyday life.
