The Southern Review - Issue: Summer

Issue: Summer - 2014

Heat up your summer by exploring sunny Southern California in the fiction of Olivia Clare, Richard Lange, and Matthew Blumenthal. The latest issue of The Southern Review also includes translations by W. D. Snodgrass and Richard V. McGehee, plus essays by Carol Ann Davis and Jane E. Martin. Former Poet Laureate Charles Simic contributes five new poems, running alongside new poetry by Kevin Prufer, Greg Wrenn, and Anna Journey. José-María Cundín’s bold biomorphic abstractions brighten the issue’s cover and its interior spread.
