In this issue, Margo Katz explores the ups and downs of a family coping with narrow stairs in “Thirteen Steps.” John Honkala takes us on a drunken, lyrical account of a bar and its memorable cast of characters in “There are No Roads That Lead Here.” And Kari Gunter-Seymour shines a light on the impact of poverty, generational afflictions, and the brunt of mainstream America’s skewed regard for those living in Appalachia, especially women, in four poems beginning with “Me Oh, My Oh.” These poems are excerpted from Dirt Songs published this month by EastOver Press.
This issue features images from Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a 1931 American pre-Code horror film, directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring Fredric March.
Stills from the film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde a 1931 American pre-Code horror film, starring Frederic March and directed by Rouben Mamoulian. March plays a possessed doctor who tests his new formula that can unleash people’s inner demons. The film is an adaptation of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson tale of a man who takes a potion which turns him from a mild-mannered man of science into a homicidal maniac.
