Issue: Spring - 2020
We might all be stuck at home, but you can still take a trip
with the new issue of The Southern Review.
Explore Miami—and America—for the first time through the eyes of the Cuban
writer Legna Rodríguez Iglesias, and join a British couple’s honeymoon as they
dive amidst a drowned city with the aid of a cantankerous South African captain
in Christy Edwall’s new story, “The Sea around Us.” You can also escape into
the mountains of the Pacific Northwest with a gripping novella by James Lee
Burke, or, if you’re more of a homebody, burrow into the inner workings of an
apartment complex in Marilyn Abildskov’s essay, “Khrushchyovka.” The spring
issue’s poetry includes new work by Amaud Jamaul Johnson, who ruminates on race
and identity in America, as well as work by Benjamín Naka-Hasebe Kingsley,
Cleopatra Mathis, and the late Nobel laureate Tomas Tranströmer as translated
by Patty Crane. The spring issue also features the artwork of Yuka Petz, who
combines her backgrounds in bookbinding and visual arts to explore the
physicality of text and language.
