Lit Mag Covers :: Picks of the Week

I simply couldn’t look away from Copper Nickel #22, even though I found it somewhat disconcerting. “Samy” by Christine Stormberg is an oil on canvas.
“Borderlands” is the theme of Hayden’s Ferry Review Fall/Winter. Issue 57. “Borderlands are complex spaces filled with treacherous enthymemes, conflicting traditions, and a certain loneliness and search for identity,” writes Editor Chelsea Hickok in her introductory letter. The cover art (which extends to the back cover as well) by Bobby Neel Adams seems a fitting entryway to the borderlands within.
Now that Antioch Review has your attention… “Funny Bird Sex” by John R. Nelson is the opening essay that the issue takes as its subtitle as well as influencing the cover photo by Dennie Eagleson.
