Spoon River Change in Editor

In the most recent (Winter/Spring 2010) issue of The Spoon River Poetry Review, Bruce Guernsey announced his stepping down as editor: “When the former and iconic editor Lucia Getsi asked me four years ago if I would consider the position, it was understood that at some point someone from Illinois State University would eventually take over. After all, the magazine is located at ISU, and I came on board as an independent. So let me introduce you to the new boss, the wonderfully bright, articulate, and energetic Kirstin Hotelling Zona. An associate professor in the English department at Illinois State, Dr. Zona is also a fine poet and a sharp-eyed critic. Please give your your heartiest welcome and send her your very best work. She will continue the fine traditions of the magazine.”
