Issue: Spring - 2019
Spring is in the air, and in the pages of The Southern Review. Join two children
as they try to sneak their way into a Thai festival in Duanwad Pimwana’s
“Sandals” and relive an old con in Peter Orner’s “Fall River Wife.” You can
also learn about lovers’ marks—the sometimes painted, sometimes carved
dedications to love found in vandalism around the world—in Thomas Dai’s “Love
on the Rocks.” This issue’s poetry includes Gregory Stapp’s “Love via a Rube
Goldberg Diagram,” a charming puzzle of a couple’s relationship
through the seasons, as well as two new poems from recent Agnes Starrett Lynch
poetry prize winner Ryan Black, and
work by David Wojahn, Kim Roberts, and Marilyn Nelson. The spring issue
features the paintings of Eva Speer, who blends traditional and contemporary
techniques to create hypnotic landscapes and textures.
