Issue: Summer - 2018
Summer is upon us, and the latest issue of The Southern Review might just be the hottest
one yet. Join Lydia Peelle for a boozy bachelorette party in Nashville and find
out what happens when a down-and-out actor gets mistaken for a serial killer in
Brent Spencer’s “Thank You, Dark.” You can also revisit the days of Nadia Comăneci’s
breathtaking gymnastics in Marilyn Abildskov's coming-of-age essay “Holding”
and follow the issue’s poetry from the heated Monopoly games in Fleda Brown’s
“Afternoons at the Lake” to the cool escape of a head inserted into a washing
machine in Owen McLeod’s “The Saddest Poem in Pennsylvania.” You’ll also find
poems by Joe Wilkins, Susan Rich, and Catherine Staples alongside portraits by
New Orleans–based artist Gina Phillips, whose work combines fabric, thread, ink, acrylic paint, yarn, and even hair.
