Sara Watson is one of our new volunteers here at the Cincinnati Review. Unfortunately, we’re an office staffed by introverts, and so we spend much of the day avoiding eye contact and answering each other’s earnest attempts at speech with a series of gradually quieter and quieter “yeah”s. To give our blog readers a feel …
Last week we leaked a few lines from poems in our upcoming issue—and now we’re following up with a spate of prose teasers. Good stuff coming, readers! A mere month away . . . David Yost, from “The Carousel Thief”: Farzad’s first experience with competitive eating had been at a picnic table outside a slaughterhouse …
Issue 9.1 is officially at the printer, and we’re as cranked up as four-year-olds on cherry Kool-Aid. There’s still time to order your subscription here!

Conveniently, our following 8.2 contributors revealed that their work in our journal was influenced by various voyages (though none lunar): Anna Carson DeWitt (on “On Nighttime …
When Cincinnati Review staff member Don Peteroy isn’t busy reading for class, writing 200-page translations (via Google Translate) of 16th-century German adaptations of Hamlet, or playing in his band, he likes to ask writers he admires irrelevant questions. We’re honored to have two replies to share with you, from Lauren Groff and David Yost. Lauren …

In the office, he’s quiet, yet at home writes stories involving things like Wonder Woman, in an airport bathroom, finding herself short of feminine hygiene products.
