In the Editor’s Note for The Greensboro Review’s Spring 2023 issue, Terry L. Kennedy describes the importance of community and our shared literary future: “It is a testament to the gift of literature that words put down on a blank page can actually change our experience of the world, and can carry us back to a time, place, or significant moment in our lives [. . . ] It’s a conversation carried on in many places and many times, past and present. One that should never stop—how can we afford to let it?”

The Greensboro Review invites readers into that conversation with this 113th issue, featuring the Robert Watson Literary Prize winners: Luciana Arbus-Scandiffio’s “Have You Been to the Palisades” for poetry and Jordan Brown’s “Jenny Lynn & Buddy” for fiction. This GR issue also includes new work from Ian Cappelli, Justin Jude Carroll, Camille Carter, Mark Cox, Hannah Craig, Emma DePanise, David Dixon, Gregory Fraser, Mike Good, Bill Hollands, James Jabar, Mimi Manyin, Rose McLarney, Nicholas Molbert, J.S. Nunn, Phoebe Peter Oathout, Dan O’Brien, Lucas Daniel Peters, Ian Power-Luetscher, Dustin Lee Rutledge, Cameron Sanders, M.E. Silverman, Gabriel Spera, and Candace Walsh.

The Fall 2022 issue of The Greensboro Review (#112) features the Amon Liner Poetry Prize winner, Dom Witten’s “Broken Showerhead,” and an Editor’s Note by Terry L. Kennedy in which he pays tribute to friends who have passed, as well as new work from ​​Todd Davis, Chris Edmonds, Larry Flynn, Cynthia Gunadi, Matt Hart, AE Hines, A. Van Jordan, Sarah MacKenzie, Louise Marburg, Chris Mattingly, Aidan O’Brien, Skyler Osborne, Suphil Lee Park, Carol M.
