Issue: Winter - 2015
The Southern Review is celebrating Mardi Gras—and the start
of their eightieth anniversary year—with the winter 2015 issue. Michael
Knight’s “Our Lady of the Roses” is set against the Mardi Gras celebrations in
Mobile, Alabama, and the title story of Kirstin Valdez Quade’s forthcoming
Night at the Fiestas visits Santa Fe for the festival spirit of the Southwest.
Some of the nation’s leading poets, including Denise Duhamel, Charles Simic,
and David Bottoms contribute work, as does Djibouti-born Abdourahman Waberi,
translated from the French by Nancy Naomi Carlson. The winter issue features
evocative black-and-white photographs of New Orleans’s biggest
celebrations—Mardi Gras, Super Sunday, and Jazz Fest—by Louisiana-native Oscar
Creech.
