This is the Summer issue of one of my favorite magazines (& not just because I have an essay in this issue, on p. 42!). It consistently features Oklahoma, in all our messy past, present & possible futures.
It’s won so many awards that if my dear friend (& excellent editor) Carla Walker wore them as medals, she couldn’t take a step for the the sheer number of accolades! This issue is especially engaging, marrying as it does Oklahoma’s troubled histories with so much gorgeous poetry, beautiful birds, and authentic voices.
Please, treat yourselves: click on the link and have a big helping of hope, courtesy of the inestimable Oklahoma Humanities ~
