You’ve heard the expression Laughter is the best medicine. A look around the CR office would suggest that we rely on Laffy Taffy to cure most of our ills. But jokes and candy (and candy with jokes!) aren’t the only things that make us feel better when we’re feeling worse. Author Jeanette Winterson told a …
Okay, maybe Mission Control isn’t especially interested in the cover of our winter issue (due out in November), but the unearthly orb does bring the multiverse to mind. Eric Lee’s gorgeous paintings-on-glass have a luminous quality that represents, for him, “the beauty in . . . what connects us,” and we’re excited to feature his …
The term has officially begun. That means we here at the mag are reuniting our posteriors with the loving impressions they long ago made in our chairs. Though the office is taking some getting used to, our reading period isn’t. It began earlier this month—August 15, to be exact. So we’re already in the thick …

For those unfamiliar, this is a stealth operation whereby we …
We’re sad to say goodbye to our hardy, super-duper volunteer Lisa Summe—who just graduated with an MA in creative writing from UC and is headed to Virginia Tech for an MFA in the fall. Our loss is their gain. The office won’t be the same without her brightly colored clothing, strong work ethic, and trenchant …
We’ve heard some good news this spring about our contributors! Joshua Weiner (Issues 2.2 and 9.1) won a Guggenheim fellowship. You can read his commentary on the poem “Outrageous Fortune” here. Jessica Hollander (Issue 8.1) won the 2013 Katherine Anne Porter Prize in Short Fiction. Her book, In These Times the Home Is a Tired …
We at CR are excited to announce that composers from UC’s acclaimed College-Conservatory of Music have set to music some of the poems in our pages. They will be performing these pieces, with the help of CCM musicians and vocalists, in a special concert tomorrow, April 24, at 2:15 p.m. in room 3250 (the Masterclass …
Oh yes, we are on Facebook. If you like us . . . then LIKE us. You’ll find bonus goofy fun on our page. Right now, for example, there are new photo albums featuring staff, volunteers, and community supporters involved in Word Without End (our annual reading-series extravaganza) and our end-of-year cryfest (yesterday’s party, at …
