New England Review

Vol. 44, No. 1 (2023)

Selections from the Current Issue

Fiction

Rebecca van Laer

Les Chats

Poetry

C. Dale Young

and filter the moving current finding only

Poetry

Pietro Federico

and rubs his muzzle on my palms 
and I spread my fingers.
Is it me unleashing it on Arapien Valley? . . .

Nonfiction

Shaan Sachdev

Introducing NER 44.1

Spring 2023

March 27, 2023 Filed Under: Featured, News & Notes
