The Weekly Atticus

This Week at Atticus Review

September 10, 2022

A recap of the week's writing at Atticus Review. Intro by Christopher Linforth.

We recently lost two icons: Queen Elizabeth II and author and activist Barbara Ehrenreich. Their lives and work meant a lot to different people. Our thoughts are with their loved ones.

We're still psyched about the recent release of our special Internet issue. This week I'm highlighting two wonderful works: Sue Granzella's CNF piece "Finger Art" and Paula Harris' mixed media piece "I Want to Love You in Analogue." If you'd like to appear in our next issue, head on over to our Submittable page.

On the Attic, Jessica Fordham Kidd reviews Stacey Balkun's new poetry collection Sweetbitter, and Rebecca Rezakhani interviews Sarah Tremlett about her latest work, The Poetics of Poetry Film. 

Meanwhile a lot is happening over at Atticus Books:

The grand opening of Atticus Books & Music will be on Sept. 17 and will feature a live jazz trio at 5 pm. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by! The event will be at 12625 N Saguaro Blvd., Suite 111, Fountain Hills, Arizona.  

The first two books have been announced: the poetry collection Li Po, Li Hua, and The Sophist by Peter Bethanis and Lori Jakiela's memoir They Write Your Name on a Grain of Rice: On Cancer, Love, and Living Even So.

Stay tuned for next week's exclusive book cover reveal and the first episode of our podcast Atticus After Dark!

Until next week, take care. Christopher LinforthEditor-in-Chief

BOOK REVIEW

SWEETBITTER by Stacey Balkun

reviewed by

JESSICA KIDD

"By asking readers to reconsider, re-read, and question as they make their way through its pages, Sweetbitter keeps us active readers learning to navigate this rhetorical space where the mythic and the troublingly real are in constant conversation. "
