An Awkward Shape to Carry
|
In this issue, a teenage girl deals with a night of regret in Michelle Ross’s “An Awkward Shape to Carry.” Cassie Pruyn asks her unborn baby, “Who contains whom?” in four poems that compare pregnancy alongside ideas of space and memory, beginning with “Housed.” And in “The Laundry Chronicles,” E. M. Mariani knows that in a big family, it’s never just about the laundry.
Stills from The Third Man, a 1949 film directed by Carol Reed and written by Graham Greene. The film stars Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Orson Welles, and Trevor Howard, and depicts the chaos and corruption in Vienna following the Second World War.
