Spring 2023
by Barbara Westwood Diehl
Spring News:
Our Spring 2023 issue went live on May 1 and was announced on various social media sites and through our mailing list and all sorts of places—and now (belatedly) here!
We hope that you enjoy the poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction by Jared Beloff, Allisa Cherry, Sarah Elkins, Adam Forrester, Kimberly Glanzman, Pete Mackey, Meg Robson Mahoney, Michael Minassian, Donna Obeid, Abigail Oswald, Emmy Ritchey, Cressida Blake Roe, Adrie Rose, Huina Zheng, and Jane Zwart.
One of my favorite things about online issues: Notes and audio! This “bonus content” deepens the writer-reader connection for me. I hope you feel the same way. A number of our contributors provided notes about their work and recordings for this issue. Look for those at the bottom of their pages.
Our current submission period for contest and non-contest submissions ends May 31, and we’ll have a lot of reading to do over the summer. We’ll also be gathering work from the Summer and Fall 2022 and Winter and Spring 2023 issues together for the Baltimore Review 2023 print compilation, which will be available for purchase later in the summer.
Oh, and if you’re interested in an occasional (free) online generative writing workshop, send an email to editor@baltimorereview.org. We’ll let you know when that will happen. Always fun. You never know what that imagination of yours will come up with.
