Winter Georgia Review now available
“Open Books, Illuminated Lives,” the title of Kathleen Holmes’s visual-art portfolio in the winter issue of The Georgia Review, could also serve as a general subtitle for the issue’s gathering of essays, short stories and poems. Holmes presents readers with hinged, three-dimensional mixed-media “books” whose covers and interiors narrate individual lives via material, image and metaphor.
Will Barker’s lead essay “Tony and the Cows” examines a broad range of crucial environmental matters through the prism of activist Tony Merter, a suspect in some range-war cattle killings at the time of his suicide in 1996. Robert Wrigley’s “Under My Skin” focuses on the author’s father and his obsession with Frank Sinatra.
Ellen Akins’s short story “A Matter of Days Before the Collapse” is set in a literal war zone, but it aims to illuminate the lives of just a handful of the participants. Evelyn Somers’s story “Roy” looks into an incestuous love, while Phyllis Moore’s “Rembrandt’s Bones” shows a teacher trying to deal with the almost simultaneous deaths of an eccentric mentor and a wraith-like student.
The Georgia Review is available at the UGA Bookstore and the Georgia Museum of Art gift shop. Call 542-3481 or visit www.uga.edu/garev for more information.
