Mudfish 24 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781893654334)

Mudfish 24 is "thick and handsome," as Donald Hall said of all its issues in his book, Notes Nearing Ninety, and this issue lives up to Mudfish's stellar reputation for beauty, intensity, originality and excellence. Each poem is a miniature novel, a universe. Poems by Tim Nolan (the winner of the 17th Mudfish Poetry Prize judged by Deborah Landau) and by the two Honorable Mentions, Doug Smith and Francis Klein are featured, along with Dell Lemmon, Jonas Kyle, Stephen Ackerman, Rodger Moody, Paul Schaeffer, Richard Fein, Joyce Wang, the poetry in the fiction of Stephanie Emily Dickinson, and artist-writers Alexander Iskin, and Paul Wuensche, and a wide variety of art by Jasper Krents, Ben La Rocco, Alaiyo Bradshaw, Mary Flinn and many others.
