Lit Mag Covers :: Picks of the Week

I can’t look a the cover of the September 2018 issue of Poetry Magazine without the intro riff to “All Along the Watchtower” by Jimi Hendrix cuing up in my head. Sweetly enough, the inside front cover features a tribute quote from Donald Hall (1928-2018): “The world is everything and that is the case. / Now stop your blubbering and wash your face.” (Poetry, February 1979)

Keeping with colors, I love how Issue 20 of True Story: 6’3″ Man with Doritos by Matthew Clark is actually the color the cheesy Doritos dust leaves stuck to your fingers long after eating them (illustration by Lucy Engelman). So, no problem munching on a bag while you read this issue!

The Missouri Review Summer 2018 cover features the unique photography of Libby Oliver from the Soft Shells series. Visit her website, and check out the Sidewalk Series – slightly disturbing but mostly funny as hell.
