Lit Mag Covers :: Picks of the Week

This week’s cover picks’ theme could be whimsy, as there was something in each of these covers that made me laugh, with a blend of curiosity to want to look inside. This cover image of Mississippi Review (43.3) by Allison Campbell is a throwback to the Brady Bunch, with writers included in the issue on featured on both the front an back cover.

The Spring 2016 issue of The Gettysburg Review features a full color section of the paintings and collages of Jacqui Larsen, as well as this cover work (oil and collage), Trotting a Fenced Field.

The most literal of the ‘making me want to look inside’ covers this week is The Missouri Review, themed “Behind the Curtian.” This cover image, “Matter,” by Logan Zillmer reveals summer behind the curtain of winter – appropriate considering the below zero winchill outside.
