If evil is the “absence of empathy,” as defined by G. M. Gilbert, the American psychologist known for his observational commentary during the Nuremberg trials, then Editor Terry L. Kennedy offers an antidote in the Spring 2025 Editor’s Note of The Greensboro Review when he writes that the “magic of literature” is “its ability to dissolve the boundaries that separate us, revealing the common threads of fear, hope, and longing that connects us all.”
This newest issue features much to help us connect, including the Robert Watson Literary Prize winners: Jeni O’Neal’s “Loving a Man and His Kids and His House” in poetry and Emily Harper Ellis’s “The Fairy Swap” in fiction, as well as new work by Miriam Akervall, Megan Blankenship, Alex Bullock, Flora Field, Abigail Ham, Max Kruger-Dull, Seth Leeper, Angela Ma, Elisabeth Murawski, Michael O’Ryan, Leslie Pietrzyk, Caroline Porter, Lindsay Stewart, Zach Swiss, David Thoreen, Amber Train, and Andy Young.
