The Weekly Atticus

This Week at Atticus Review

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

A new episode of our podcast Atticus After Dark has recently dropped. In this episode our host, Sam Slaughter, interviews poet and professor Erin Elizabeth Smith about teaching poetry, her creative work, and living and working in the post-pandemic era.

As we read your terrific submissions for our third issue of the year, I just want to highlight a couple of pieces from our recent issue: Lawrence Bridges's smart poem "The Clarks were all Clerks," and Rayya Liebich's moving CNF piece "Mind Games." Lovely work, I hope you agree.

Recently, we've published many interesting pieces over at the Attic. Keene Short interviewed Kristine Langley Mahler about her debut essay collection, Curing Season. Barbara Riddle wrote about her friendship with Barbara Ehrenreich. We're also run some incisive book reviews about new books from Chauna Craig, Stacey Balkun, Katy E. Ellis, and we have a new one: Nikki Ummel reviews Laura Johnson's Memento Vivere is a Reminder to Live. If you'd like to review a book for Atticus Review, contact us here.

We're still looking for poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and mixed media for our upcoming issue. Stay tuned to our Twitter for an upcoming free submissions day! Remember to take a look at our previous issues for the type of work we publish. In bonus news, during our current open call for submissions, our wonderful poetry editors are also looking for poems for a special poetry-only folio to be released in February (just submit in our usual poetry category).

Remember you can always visit the Atticus Headquarters in Arizona. Stop by for a chat and pick up a book or record at Atticus Books & Music.

Until next time, thanks so much for reading.
