This autumn, join The Southern Review with writing from across the globe. You can walk alongside the ghost of T. S. Eliot in his Massachusetts home in Jeffrey Harrison’s long poem, “To Eliot,” or try to remember your father's smile and laugh in “Dave, Mike, and Morris,” a poem from Stephen Bluestone. Navigate the court politics of seventeenth-century Korea in Caroline Kim’s story, “When the Sun and Moon Exchange Places,” or understand the cause of a strained father-daughter relationship in Bonnie Jo Campbell's newest addition to our pages. Michael Hettich explores loss in two poems filled with gut-wrenching memories and haunting language, “The Baffling Light” and “Turning Back to Silence,” while the speaker in Alpay Ulku’s poem, “Girl Losing a Game of Tetris,” finds herself veering closer and closer to an empty bag of candy. Along with prose from Emma Binder, Deniz Han Kuypers, and Zehra Nabi, this issue features sculptures by Mitch Iburg, who draws inspiration from Minnesota's rock formations to develop his ceramics work.
