launchpartyThe Cincinnati Review is celebrating our new issue with a launch party at Wash Park Art (a gallery at 1215 Elm Street, right across from Washington Park near Music Hall) this Friday, January 22, from 5:00 to 8:00. Come join us for food, drink, lively conversation, and a brief poetry reading by Norman Finkelstein, a contributor to the issue. More details here: www.washparkart.com/Events.html

We will, of course, have copies of the magazine on hand. The new issue includes fiction from Nicholas Montemarano and Wendy Rawlings; poems from Charles Rafferty, who was just featured on Poetry Daily (poems.com/poem.php?date=16811), and this year’s Elliston Poet Carl Phillips; art by Alicia LaChance; translations from the Zapotec; a crossword puzzle by Fiction Editor Michael Griffith, and more. You can pick up a copy at an office near you (369 McM) or order one through our website.
