Venture out into the world again with the spring issue of The Southern Review. Take a trip with Hiroko Oyamada as she encounters an urban legend in Seoul’s medicine markets, or relive the travails of California Youth Soccer with Rose Whitmore. Adeniyi Ademoroti explores Nigerian nightlife through the eyes of a young father, while Jeremy Radin contemplates a happy life of solitude without kids (but with pie) in a new poem. Along with poetry by Danusha Laméris, Kevin Prufer, Lisa Ampleman, Bob Hicok, and Ae Hee Lee, this issue features the photography of Eiji Ohashi, whose pictures of vending machines shining in remote and unusual places highlights the far reach of civilization, and, perhaps, the humanity of machines.
