You have to see it to believe it in the spring issue of The Southern Review. Join Rita Chang-Eppig for a trip that might unexpectedly include mermaids in her story, “Florida,” or see what happens when a poor artisan begins, cheaply and flawlessly, to fabricate priceless pieces of pottery in Feng Jiqi’s “Story of a Bowl.” Pablo Piñero Stillmann delves into an administrator’s misadventures at a school in Mexico City in “Cold Front,” and in real life Heather Aruffo travels to the same city—her father’s hometown—in search of family and identity. Cuban poet Pablo Armando Fernández addresses family relationships and the circle of caring in “Parable,” while Gabrielle Bates’s “In the Event of Moon Disaster” provides a beautiful tribute to a mother, who, despite the hardships of their circumstances always found a way to comfort strangers in distress. Mary Jo Salter, Haesong Kwon, José A. Alcántara, and many others are also featured. This issue showcases the artwork of Tia Keobounpheng, who reconnects to her Sámi heritage and the natural world through her work.
