For our first issue of 2024, Andy Fogle explores how movies and memories collide, and frame our thoughts on the past and present, in “I Remember Halloween.” A relationally damaged woman has two unexpected encounters in Louise Marburg’s hilarious and propulsive “Not Lucky Enough.” And, from Federico García Lorca to Loretta Lynn, Jane Hicks recalls the musicians and poets whose works help us find meaning in our own lives in three poems beginning with “Deep Songs.” Hicks’ newest collection of poetry, The Safety of Small Things, releases this month from University of Kentucky Press.
This issue features images from NSF’s NOIRLab (formally named the National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory), the US national center for ground-based, nighttime optical astronomy.
