The Essay as Jazz, Butterfly, Knuckleball: An Interview with Edward Hoagland
by Brian Doyle and Jason Myers
The geographer’s colors. Homages to Saul Bellow and Elizabeth Bishop, a roving interview with Edward Hoagland, as well as the sharply drawn fictional worlds of Gania Barlow, Xujun Eberlein, Mary O’Donoghue, Tova Reich, Tom Whalen, and Nicholas Montemarano. Poems by Matt Donovan, Paula Closson Buck, Eamon Grennan, and others complement the vigorous book collages of Maureen Mullarkey.
