How Long, O Lord, Will You Leave Them?
Remembering My Mother’s Childhood
Changing ecologies of information, fragmented certainties. Sets up a vigorous call-and-response between fictions of eerie dislocation (Michael Mejia, Rick Moody, and Vincent Czyz) and essays of interrogation and witness—by William Pierce, Lia Purpura, Joel Brouwer, Wendy Rawlings, and others. Poets like Campbell McGrath, Christopher Middleton, Matt Donovan, and Leslie Wheeler are buttressed by a stylistically singular portfolio of British and Irish poetry edited by Kathryn Maris and Maurice Riordan of Poetry London magazine. A portfolio of visual art by Leslie Sutcliffe uses the logic of likeness as a basis for reassembly and restoration.
