It’s vacation season, so take a trip with The Southern Review! Get lost in the world of Japanese hot springs in Miroslav Penkov’s “Black Water, Plum Rain,” and experience a slice of tumultuous Madagascar nightlife with Johary Ravaloson’s “Out ’n Around.” You can learn what happens when activists stage a takeover of a tourist trap in Andrew Brininstool’s investigative essay “Above and Below,” and travel through West Virginia in search of home with Mesha Maren. Follow up with a visit to Nicole Stockberger’s “Brintle’s Truck Stop Motel,” and then see the world through the unusual eyes of crash test dummies in two freshly translated poems by Greta Montero Barra. You’ll also find new poems by David Wojahn, Kate Gaskin, and Joe Wilkins alongside paintings by decorated artist Philemona Williamson, who captures the tenuous moment between adolescence and adulthood on her canvas.
