Here and There
Issue 31
Here and There is full of fiction by David Matlin, Bonnie Jo Campbell, R.D. Skillings, among others, and many poems, some by John Ashbery, Colette Inez, Ray DiPalma, and essays, too, one by David Wojahn, reviews by Anthony Walton (on Thelonious Monk), and by Francisco Aragon, John Peck, and more, along with Editors Select, all highlighting our usual mix of compelling literature from new and established authors.
Here is our web extra from the print edition, John Ashbery's "Soeur Monique."
