And now, the second installment of Peteroy’s Irrelevant Questions for Relevant Writers, a little feature we here at CR are happy to host, where CR volunteer Don Peteroy asks the writers he admires patently absurd questions in an effort to move the literary conversation sideways (or maybe to force it to vibrate in place for …
We’re excited about our new issue, due out in January (a bit behind schedule, but we promise it’s worth the wait). We think you should be, too.

Well, after a long summer of careful reading and discussion, we are excited to announce the winners of the 2011 Robert and Adele Schiff Prizes in Poetry and Prose!
