Editor’s Note
For the months of June and July, it’s an honor to feature and celebrate exciting new books by Rebecca Foust, Dzvinia Orlowsky, Karen Babine, and Frank Paino, as well as an anthology edited by Gabriela Jauregui and Heather Cleary. We are also thrilled to spotlight exceptional literary criticism by Nicole Yurcaba, Britta Stromeyer, Annelise Schoups, Sasha Bailin and Douglas Cole.
In the coming months, look for more review-essays, as well as small press features and discussions of new poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and hybrid texts. Our Senior Reviews Editors, Esteban Rodriguez and Linda Michel-Cassidy, will also be assigning a selection of books, bringing an exciting perspective to Tupelo Quarterly’s already vibrant offerings in literary criticism. In the meantime, happy spring, and enjoy!
