Publisher’s description: New Madrid is the official journal of the low-residency M.F.A. program at Murray State University. It takes its name from the New Madrid seismic zone, which falls within the central Mississippi Valley and extends through western Kentucky. Between 1811 and 1812, four earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 7.0 struck this region, changing the course of the Mississippi River, creating Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee and ringing church bells as far away as Boston. We are especially interested in highlighting work from areas known as “the flyover zone.”
