This issue features work from Heather Christle, Khaled Mattawa, René Steinke, Farah Ali, and Peter Orner, among many others. The cover reflects the issue’s particular focus on oil, as explored through several pieces: María Sonia Cristoff’s essay “The Dogs of Cañadón Seco” (from her newly-released book False Calm, translated by Katherine Silver), Bernard Quiriny’s story “Black Tides” (translated by Edward Gauvin), and Keija Parsinnen’s story “The Pearl Diver’s Son.”

Gird yourselves, gentle readers, for an adventure of mystery, wonder, faith, and conscience as our writers and artists explore these tensions in kitchens, foster homes, church camps, dystopian fables, flowers, love, earthworks, ghost ships, funerals, migrations, grief, nunneries, deer stands, airports and even a powder room.

Our September issue centers on the theme of home. Where we live. Where we are uneasy. Where we depart from. Where we wish we could belong. Our pieces for this month explore all these and more. Plus, as always, our monthly issue brings you two poems and an interview with the poet—in this case, Shane Seely.
