In this issue, Erica Anderson-Senter reveals the “Midwestern Poet’s Incomplete Guide to Symbolism.” Ezra Zwaeli relishes in the stinkiest of joys in “Chòu Dòufu at Taiwan’s Shi Lin Night Market.” And Ethan Rutherford introduces “Angus and Annabel,” a young brother and sister who fear their father as much as they grieve their dead mother. “Angus and Annabel” is a dark tale from Rutherford’s forthcoming collection, Farthest South and Other Stories, scheduled for release on April 13, 2021.
The images in this issue feature early photographs taken with the Kodak camera, a creation of American inventor George Eastman (1854-1932) that produced circular snapshots. The ease of use and low price of this simple box camera made popular photography accessible.
