I’ve been skylarking through  my literary journal stack and want to share some of the highlights. Though, I should warn you, that though I’ve read many, many of them over my little winter break, this is only a wee snippet.

In Art & Letters (spring 2008) there are two great essays on the body. Heather Seller’s “Face First” describes her experiences with prospagnosia and Laura Hope-Gill‘s “Descrescendo” tells of her slow loss of hearing. The Iowa Review spring & fall 2008 both contain graphic essays by Maggie McKnight. Last year’s  Poetry , the translation issue, is a delight.
