Our Winter 2017 issue, with all new-to-NER poets, shares a South African sense of place with the help of fifteen of its contemporary writers & translators. Other work in this issue includes the resurfaced book reviews of Twain, Pound, et al, by Mary Butts; Evan Lavender-Smith’s faceoff with his seven-year-old son on the meaning of “ladybird” and the value of Wikipedia; Rob White’s dive into the world of anti-psychiatry and how it helps—or doesn’t help—our living dead; and more.
