$6.00

Featuring the work of graffiti and performance artist Mohammed Ali, a.k.a. Aerosol Arabic; and the installations and drawings of Linnéa Spransy, whose work mirrors the interplay between pattern and chaos in the natural world. With new poems and an interview with former US poet laureate Charles Wright on his backyard, the Book of Common Prayer, and landscape painting. Poems by Marilyn Nelson, Karen An-Hwei Lee, and Víctor Rodríguez Núñez, and fiction set the day after Hurricane Katrina by Moira Crone. Jenny Shank reviews new novels by Yann Martel, H.S. Cross, and Samantha Hunt. M. Lynx Qualey reflects on fiction from contemporary Egypt—and what it reveals about power. Allison Grace Myers weighs the ontological consequences of being born with no sense of smell. Kathleen Housley explores Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s obsession with a thousand-page nineteenth-century novel about a medieval knight. And, in his editorial, Greg Wolfe answers some questions about politics.
