The Open Issue
Winter 2015. Vol. 37 No.3
In this issue, poet and professor Tanis MacDonald interviews Sina Queyras, also known as the “the poet who will say anything,” about feminism, criticism, and the end of Lemon Hound. Poetry by both MacDonald and Queyras is included within the issue along with work from new and familiar poets such as Tim Prior, Zell Kravinsky, and Patrick Grace. The issue concludes with three reviews: Melanie Dennis on Alli Warren’s Here Come the Warm Jets, John Stintzi on Alison Calder’s In the Tiger Park, and Méira Cook on Brecken Hancock’s Broom Broom.
