This winter, join The Southern Review for stories near and far. Travel with a tennis-obsessed father and his newly minted tennis pro daughter on their first trip to the US Open in Lucas Southworth’s story, “Quantum Physics,” or come along with Ruthvika Rao as she explores a rural village deep in the Indian countryside in “The Mangrove.” Find out what happens when a coach punishes his players by forcing them to text their fathers “I love you” whenever they make an error in Alex Pickett’s “Texting,” or join team of paranormal investigator YouTubers as they brave California’s most haunted locales in Colleen Morrissey’s “Readings.” Jane Craven evokes the New York School in her exploration of living in New York City during the early 1980s in her poem, “Radiant City,” and Christopher Gaumer writes of hard life on the prairie in “There Goes the Neighborhood—Kansas, 1876.” Along with new poems by Yoo Heekyung, David St. John, and Julia B. Levine, this issue also features the mixed-media work of Moira Crone, who layers images on her canvases in hopes of seeing what shines through. We also proudly announce the winners of our annual James Olney and Oran Robert Perry Burke Awards.
