Outlines
Issue 39
Outlines can barely contain the superb prose and poetry that has defined Notre Dame Review for nearly twenty years. This issue features fiction by R.D. Skillings, Gloria Whelan and Justin Haynes, to name a few. Additionally, readers will find thought-provoking poetry by the likes of Norbert Krapf, Daniel Tobin and Robert Gibb, along with several stellar reviews and essays. Outlines offers an enticing journey into the borders of thoughtful expression.
