Lorca’s Glowing Moon

Well, this is a first for me in all the years I’ve been working with literary magazines. The July/August 2016 cover of Poetry is a special treat for those who can access the print version. Artist Chris Hefner has created a glow-in-the-dark moon to celebrate the “moon poems” by Federico García Lorca, translated by Sarah Arvio. The issue features “Two Evening Moons,” “Of the Dark Doves,” and “Ballad of the Moon Moon.” Read more about the translations as well as a statement from the artist about his work and several other images from his collection here.
