You know how sometimes you can tell something about a person just by looking at her? For example, the staff here at CR can tell you nine times out of ten what color a person’s hair is with little more than a prolonged glance (the tenth time we get tripped up by the nuances of …
We are exceptionally thrilled to congratulate three of our contributors whose poems (all from Issue 7.2) were chosen by Mark Doty for the Best American Poetry 2012! Julianna Baggott, “For Furious Nursing Baby” James Kimbrell, “How to Tie a Knot” Dean Rader, “Self-Portrait as Dido to Aeneas” Greatest congratulations to them! Below, we’ve posted some …
Any day now, we’re going to receive a number of large, ridiculously heavy boxes full of Issue 8.2. As we wait, we’re doing core-strengthening exercises and reminding ourselves to lift with our legs.
