It’s chilly here in Syracuse, but I’m enjoying the warm glow of having received my contributor copies of the sunny Southwest Review, Volume 102, Number 2, which includes my poems “Shadows of Blackbirds on Our Arms” and “Let’s Arm Ourselves with Supple Skin.” This issue features luminous new work by Elijah Burrell, Jac Jemc, Jacqueline Osherow, Lee Rossi, Lewis Shiner, Jonathan Weinert and others. Thank you again to editors Terri Lewers, Preston Hutcherson, and Greg Brownderville!
