In the CR office, we get to know our volunteers pretty well. There are the weekly meetings, of course, and also we require every volunteer to put in office hours. This is largely so there’s someone for Matt M. to wrestle; someone who’ll salivate when Lisa heats up her leftovers from home; someone to act blinded …
The past few weeks have brought some good news for those connected to Cincinnati Review: Trophy, by Michael Griffith, our fiction editor, was named to the Best Fiction of 2011 list by Kirkus Reviews. The original (starred!) review said, “Griffith’s word wizardy, his facile puns, his insight into the human heart and his topsy-turvy sardonic …
Our Game of the Month was a popular one. A lot of you enjoy the grammar-based creativity of Mad Libs, and we were _____________ on the floor of the office as we read the entries. Snopes.com, Pomeranians, yodeling? All awesome. (Even better when we think about the Snopes.com debunking of the yodeling Pomeranian chain email.) …

We’re in the home stretch for production of Issue 8.2, due out in January, and our excitement is growing. We’ve got a cooler full of Gatorade to shower Managing Editor Nicola Mason with (shh, it’s a secret), some end-zone-style silly celebration dances, and a trophy made out of toilet-paper rolls and licorice. In order to …
