Review: The latest Alaska Quarterly Review showcases outstanding prose and poetry that speaks to our time
Alaska Quarterly Review, Vol. 38, No. 1 & 2, Summer and Fall 2021. Edited by Ron Spatz. 272 pages. $12
The seven short stories that follow range in location from a fantasy world to the Old West to Africa and Vietnam. They involve identity quests and reexaminations of our shared history. Matt Greene’s “Trapped in a Cave” accompanies two young men and the ghost of a third friend as they drive around the country and instigate an elevator malfunction in a tourist cave.
AQR seeks the best, most innovative and imaginative writing from anywhere, and it’s always a pleasure to find Alaskans in the mix. Sara Eliza Johnson, author of “Unspeakable” mentioned above and a prize-winning poet with two poems in the last AQR issue, teaches in the MFA program at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The poetry section includes works by Alaskans Peggy Shumaker, Marie Tozier, Anne Coray and Olena Kalytiak Davis.
