Blossoms are beginning to drift across the wind, along with the new pages of The Southern Review. Join us for a trek to warmer temperatures in the desert with Mesha Maren’s “Tonopah,” contemplating the night sky and grief and light, or reminisce about the eighties with Marilyn Abildskov’s “Fur.” Ponder the sinister politics of a neighbor committee with Arnoldo Gálvez Suárez’s “The New Neighbor,” or endure the trappings of a disappointing after-wedding chain restaurant in Chelsea Rathburn’s “Love Poem with Bottled Steak Sauce.” You can also watch the Final Four with Bobby C. Rogers’s mother, or join Jane Hirshfield to consider the future, and also the wonders of the turnip. Philip Schultz, Mairead Small Staid, and El Williams III are also featured. This issue highlights the artwork of Keren Kroul, whose large-scale painting and watercolor installations evoke memory as landscape through fragmentation and white space.
