The poems inside this issue of Hampden-Sydney Poetry Review speak to our moment in different and unpredictable ways. Maurice Manning attempts to capture the past; Lauren Slaughter faces mourning head-on; and Ed Falco wonders fitfully about Narcissus.

Hopefully, the poems and interviews in this year’s issue of HSPR will help break you out of whatever trance you might be in.
