Salt Hill 25

Our 25th issue is full of eye-popping work that catalogs a variety of wonderment: making love on broken riverbanks, disappearing family members at ATM's, and the firing squad-like horrors of working at a bowling alley. This issue includes the 2009 Calvino Prize winning story by Michael Agresta; interviews with Christine Schutt about her writing process and David Shields about his new book Reality Hunger; alarmingly great poetry by the likes of Arlene Ang and Farah Marklevits; drawings by Michael Burkard and diorama photographs by Carlo Van De Roer. SH25 is both a necessary manual for celebrating the darkness of domesticity and the unexpected beauty of tomorrow.
