“ One of the great pleasures of SHR is the presentation together of academic essays alongside fiction, poetry, and reviews of books from university and independent presses, with a decided predilection for analysis over personal reflection, but with clear-eyed attention, as well, to a literature that considers the difficulites of daily life....
[I]n these troubled and troubling times,...SHR will surely feed your soul.”
Sima Rabinowitz, New Pages, March 2009
