Our 57th year of continuous publication, with covers and an art portfolio by Amy Masters. It features a supplement of poems curated by Hanging Loose author R. Zamora Linmark and a remembrance of Jack Anderson, plus Jack’s last poem.
Others included in this issue are regulars such as Sherman Alexie, Rosalind Brackenbury, Bill Christophersen, Harley Elliott, Joanna Fuhrman, David Lehman, Stephen Lewandowski, D. Nurkse, Tim Robbins, Marty Skoble, and Tom Wayman, plus many poets new to HL, among them: Jennifer Barber, Ace Boggess, Shaune Bornholdt, Debra Cash, Paula Cisewski, Wendy Drexler, Helen Ivory, Laura Judge, Li Bai (translated by Arthur Sze), Lynette Ng, Beth Brown Preston, Derek Shirae, Montana James Thomas, Marc Vincenz, and Pui Ying Wong ; and poems by four outstanding poets of high school age.
From loose pages to issue 119 of our magazine, an anthology of over 100 HLP poets, over a decade of the Loose Award for translated works, the Founders prize for first book in its third year, and a bunch of great books in the works, we couldn’t have come this far without you.
