The MacGuffin April 2025 issue sold out at the 2025 Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference (!) but is now available again for individual purchase — whew! This hot issue features winners of Poet Hunt 29 with commentary by Judge Michael Meyerhofer as well as a look ahead to this year’s Poet Hunt 30 including a mini-feature of poems by Judge Darrel Alejandro Holnes. The issue rounds out with a quadruplet of short memoirs; fiction selections including Margaret Willey’s family drama — as turbulent as the lake it’s set on, and Angela Townsend’s “Present Lives,” whose main character invites readers to ‘tune in, turn on,’ referencing enhanced spirituality. All of this wrapped neatly within Jennifer Rodrigues’s compelling cover art, “Switch Plate.”
