Lit Mag Covers :: Picks of the Week

The Spring/Summer issue of Alaska Quarterly Review features an appropriate image for the weeks to come (at least I’m hoping for more rain and less snow): Yellow umbrellas, 2014 by Clark James Mishler.

This cover of Room is a pastel on vellum by Cathy Daley. “Since the mid-1990s when I began the current body of work known as the dress series or dancing legs,” she writes, “my drawings have been untitled. Because I was so depicting the body and gestures of the body I wanted the work to speak through the body and a title seemed limiting. The postures and gestures in the work create meaning for the viewer through cultural associations and subjectivities.”

The cover of Hunger Mountain‘s Winter 2013/2014 issue is by Lucinda Bliss with details from Atlas of American War Book 4: Hearts and Octopus with graphite and colored pencil on found paper.
