Best American Essays

You may recall our Fall 2009 issue featuring the vibrant volcano cover.  The cover was inspired by Neil Mathison's lovely essay, "Volcano: An A to Z."   As usual, our good taste is shared by others!  Neil's essay is among the honorable notables in this year's BEST AMERICAN ESSAYS.

Congratulations, Neil!  And thanks for letting us publish your work.

In addition, a few of our past contributors were recognized in the anthology:

John Gamel, Gary Fincke, Patricia Foster, David Hamilton, Eric Tretheway, Lee Zacharias, Jeffrey Hammond, Peter LaSalle, Priscilla Long, Desirae Matherly, Kat Meads, Kathleen Rooney,  Carrie Shippers, and Joyce Carol Oates.
