Going and Been
Issue 33
Going and Been offers up fiction and nonfiction by Robert Hass, Sondra Spatt Olsen, and regular NDR contributors R.D. Skillings and James D. Redwood. Also featured are Act I of a new play by Alfred Corn, and a photo essay by Mary Jane Dean that captures the World Trade Center towers while they still graced the NYC skyline. Issue 33 presents poetry by John Peck, Kevin Prufer, Michael Anania, Herbert Woodward Martin, and many others. Our normal excellent reviews and Editors Select round out a truly engaging issue.
Here is our web extra from the print edition, John Peck's "On the Sentencing of Philip Berrigan, Portland, Maine, 1997."
