The summer 2008 issue of The Southern Review is editor Jeanne Leiby’s first issue. She comes to Louisiana State University and the Baton Rouge community from Orlando, Florida, where she was previously the editor of The Florida Review. In this issue, we are taken to Senegal by Mark Baumgartner, deep into a family mystery in Chile by Urban Waite, on a stagecoach ride in 1808 with Cary Holladay, and to the imaginative world of Zolaria by Caitlin Horrocks. Additional fiction includes work by Christie Hodgen, Bonnie Jo Campbell, and Jeni Bonaldo. Captain Mike Carlson’s nonfiction essay provides a unique view on running an Iraqi detention facility in Fallujah. Poets contributing to this issue include Phillip Levine, Claudia Emerson, David Kirby, Floyd Skloot, and many others. Haunting photographs of antique mannequins by Detroit artist Patricia Izzo and reviews by Susan Fallows and William Giraldi complete this outstanding issue.
