Editor, Lynne Nugent, shares appreciation for “1917” by Sarah Rose Nordgren in the Spring 2012 issue: “My older son was born in 2010, so I must have encountered this poem soon afterwards, and it clearly resonated with the hormonal new mother bond I was feeling with my baby.”

Intern, Sarah Inouye, shares her appreciation for the opening of Lindsey Drager’s Solastalgia in the Summer 2022 issue of the Iowa Review: “It is the mixing between crisp familiarity and surrealism that makes the first page of Solastalgia so immediately compelling and vivid.
