The new Literary Matters is online: here. This issue has a knockout poem by Cally Conan-Davies, which I remember from the poetry boards some months back, as well as an essay on imagination by Dave Mason. Maryann Corbett's new collection is reviewed in an omnibus by Rachel Hadas, and Mike Juster's recent book is in one by Ned Balbo.

Andrew, thank you for noting this!

And thanks to those who read the poem when I worked it here. One particular change I made, prompted by comments, made the poem better, and I'm very grateful!

There's some terrific reading in this issue, (as there always is in Literary Matters).

Yes, thanks, Andrew. I'm very grateful for Rachel Hadas's generous and insightful words and thrilled at the company I'm keeping in that beautifully written omnibus review. It will take me weeks to read all the great stuff in this issue.

Thanks Andrew!

Yes, a lot to read! I remember that lovely poem, Cally. Well done to all.
