There’s no better way to polish off a summer than with a refreshing new issue of The Southeast Review. Volume 27.2 has recently arrived and is making its way to contributors and readers. We’re excited to offer a sneak peek here. As usual, in this issue you’ll find the best fiction, poetry, and nonfiction from new and established writers. We’ve got murderers and Little Golden Books characters, babies and French clowns, too many cooks in the kitchen and America’s favorite poem. We are proud to feature fresh talent like Kirsten Skrinde, an author to watch, alongside seasoned veterans like award-winning poet Alan Michael Parker. If that’s not enough to entice you, you’ll also discover candid chats with Ethan Canin & Elizabeth Stuckey-French, Ron Hansen, and George Singleton.
“It showed up in the mail as a photocopied newsletter of sorts, stapled. Prisoners got it for free, for some reason, due to a non-profit status. In the next few issues there were letters to the editor, written by convicts, about my work.”—George Singleton27.2 is jam-packed with innovative work and intimate conversations—we couldn’t be happier to send it out in the world. Add it to your back-to-school supplies list today. We promise you won’t be disappointed.
Also, we’re pleased to announce that Shelley Puhak is the winner of our Summer 2009 Writing Regimen Contest. Read her winning entry here.
From our online companion this month we have interviews with BJ Hollars, Daniyal Mueenuddin, Michele Battiste, and Donald Ray Pollock.
From our archives we have a reading by Robert Olen Butler, as well as a reading by and an interview with Rick Moody.
As always, here are a few places we’ve been visiting:
- Listen as poets recite Poems by Heart.
- Hear New Yorker writers read their favorite fiction from The New Yorker.
- Cross the pond and check out the super short publishings of Flash Magazine.
