Issue: Spring - 2022
The lives
of others are on display in The Southern Review’s spring issue. Join an
elderly Chilean woman and her surly teenage assistant as they create an art installation
from videos, secretly taken, of a neighboring apartment complex in a new story
by Antonio Díaz Oliva. You can watch over the decline of a rival professor in
William Pei Shih’s “Necessary Evils,” or join Heather Aruffo as she observes
the culture of gun ownership in her adopted home of Alaska. Lisa Low’s “Crown
for the Girl Inside” presents an Asian American writer in conversation with her
therapist in a formal poem about identity, grief, writing, and race,
while in “Stingray Valentine” Charlotte
Pence shows how we are complicit in violence and cruelty when we do not
intervene. Along with new poems by Sharon Olds, Jose Hernandez Diaz, and torrin
a. greathouse, this issue features the black-and-white photography of Olivier
Desmet, who captures stunning images of people and their absence on the northern
California coast.
