Reclining fox is as enamored with this issue as I am!
Hugo, the reclining purple dog on our new cover, would like to request that all our contributors to this issue share photos of their author copies posed next to their own reclining animals. It's very important to Hugo (and Coven). Thank you.

Editor, Lynne Nugent, shares appreciation for “1917” by Sarah Rose Nordgren in the Spring 2012 issue:
“My older son was born in 2010, so I must have encountered this poem soon afterwards, and it clearly resonated with the hormonal new mother bond I was feeling with my baby.”
Intern, Sarah Inouye, shares her appreciation for the opening of Lindsey Drager’s Solastalgia in the Summer 2022 issue of the Iowa Review: “It is the mixing between crisp familiarity and surrealism that makes the first page of Solastalgia so immediately compelling and vivid.

Intern Robbie Hubbert shares Jordan Jacks’ piece “Twenty-seven Exposures” from the Winter 2015 issue: “…the descriptions combined with the empty space on each page where the photos should be create a vivid sense of the specific grief and guilt this narrator experiences…”
