Tom Cruise jumping on Oprah’s couch. Archimedes running through the streets of Syracuse shouting ‘Eureka’ in his birthday suit.

Plus, poetry from François Villon, Matthew Zapruder, and Meghan O’Rourke.

Colorado Review

Volume 38 Number 2, Summer 2011

Summer has always been for me the most reflective of seasons—a period of downtime, a quiet and sometimes purposefully lazy stretch that allows us to consider (and reconsider) what looms so large the rest of the year and to imagine, perhaps, letting go of attachments that are no longer serving us and figuring out how to move forward. In keeping with that sense of the season, this issue features stories and essays that explore memory and forgiveness, letting go and moving forward. With work by Barry Pearce, Joe Hiland, Andre D. Cohen, James O’Brien, Caroline Arden, and more.

The Georgia Review

Volume 65 Number 2, Summer 2011

A special feature on Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Stephen Dunn offers five poems, a self-conducted “intraview,” an interview by Laura McCullough, and assessments by McCullough, Kathleen Graber, and George Looney. Two fiction writers are new to the magazine’s pages: Jacob Sullins, whose “12 Rounds” performs a nuanced turn on an American standard, the “cop story”; and Karen Laws, whose “Paolo’s Turn” shatters any and all clichés associated with the “nursing home story.” “Wagnerism: A Telephone from the Beyond,” is a sweeping, intriguing, and humorously illustrated examination of cultural history by Jed Rasula—while cultural history of a very different sort is foregrounded in the art of the Date Farmers. Poets are Alice Friman, Lola Haskins, Robert Cording, Sarah Gordon, Dave Smith, Sydney Lea, and Billy Collins.
