A New Pages Review: "the heat of the volcano..."

New Pages calls itself the "Portal of Independents!" and rightly so.  The site features guides to and reviews of literary magazines, independent bookstores, creative writing programs and more. 

SHR is glad to share part of today's review of our newest issue, by Samuel Howard, who writes:

A dormant but beautifully ominous volcano sets the mood for this compelling issue of Southern Humanities Review (SHR). From the Japanese art on the cover, to the final poem “Resurrection: Ivorybill,” by Ashley Mace Havird, an undertone of imminent eruption, and the realms that will be, are, or have been downstream from the event, pervades each piece. This is not to say that every piece is dark and looming; rather, whether fissures of perception, or pyroclastic flows of meaning and connection, this issue conveys that the effects of earth-shattering change are worthy of being felt, remembered, and revered.

There's more, of course.  But you'll have to go to the New Pages site to read the rest.  We are so proud of this issue, and it's so nice others think it's great, too.  Thank you, Samuel Howard!
