We’re on a journey with the latest issue of The Southern Review. Find out what happens when a woman attempts to outrun her past in Erika Krouse’s “Fear Me As You Fear God,” or what a photographer finds deep in a Chinese mountain range in Feng Jiqi’s “Pursuit.” You can consider the precarity of renting in America in Yxta Maya Murray’s “The Sunk Cost Fallacy,” or escape to Italy in Phuong Anh Le’s new story, “Aventine Hill.” María Mercedes Carranza’s “Oh, My Precious Things!” considers the objects the speaker has inherited from ancestors never known, from places no longer standing, while Lis Sanchez’s poem “Carla Medina de Sánchez: The Snare” details the historical cruel treatment of Puerto Ricans in the U.S. in 1900, when men being transported to work in sugarcane fields were forced to stand in the desert sun for days, roasting, while the women were forced to watch from inside train cars. Along with new poems by Claire Tuna, Adele Elise Williams, and Lizabeth Yandel, the issue features the artwork of Marina Savashynskaya Dunbar, who writes that for her “Abstraction, like fiction, explores the pursuit of connection suspended between many levels of imagination and familiarity…. Each type of medium carries a different meaning, visual weight, and tension.”
