Welcome to the 78th issue (Volume 20, no 2) of the Wilderness House Literary Review. WHLR is a result of the collaboration between a group of poets and writers who call themselves the Bagel Bards. Lets get this out of the way. We use cookies, everyone uses cookies. Our cookies just tell us how many people take a look at Wilderness House Literary Review. Over the life of an issue we get about 4000 unique visitors. The cookies tell us who’s unique. If that's a problem We're sorry. Enough of that. The stories, articles, poems and examples of art have
been presented as PDF files. This is a format that
allows for a much cleaner presentation than would otherwise be available on
the web. If you don’t have an Adobe Reader (used to read a PDF file) on your
computer you can download one from the Adobe website. These files are large and we hope you will be patient when downloading
then, however we think the beauty of the words deserves a beautiful presentation. Our ISSN number is 2156-0153. Let us know what you think in our Letters to the Editor. Table of Contents OpineConstruction Season
In New England, we joke about our four seasons: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction season. We’re deep in construction season. Detours are everywhere, and the roads are full of steel plates and rough, unfinished paving. The state of the roads here in central Massachusetts serves as a metaphor for the rest of the world, or at least from our perspective from inside the United States. Everything seems to be falling apart. We’ve got politicians seeking a vendetta against their opponents, crazy billionaires wielding chainsaws on the government, and an international collection of countries suddenly forced to fend for themselves. Or so it seems. It’s hard to tell the truth from fiction. Iran got whacked by sub-atomic bunker-busters but only after a month or so's notice, and Iran retaliated against an airbase in Qatar, but only after a few days' notice. Was that a war or a TV show filled with fireworks? What will History record? We asked Dorris Kerns Goodwin what she thought, and she replied, “He won’t last forever.” Neither did Julius Caesar, but he fundamentally changed Rome forever. Search the houseArtEssayThere is, sometimes, a fine line between fiction and non-fiction. We have several essays that muddy that line, again. I've been assured by the authors that their stories rightly belong here and not in our fiction section. You can be the judge of that.
Fiction
For your reading pleasure we offer an outstanding collection of short stories by:
Poetry
Enjoy the collection of poetry we have assembled. We'd like to call attention to the work of one of our favorite Bagel Bards: Dennis Daly
ReviewsFor many more book reviews we'd like to point you to The Boston Area Small Press and Poetry Scene This issue we received a large number of book reviews about books published in the Indian sub-continent. So we’ve created a special section for these.
