Sending out more love to our contributors. A Pomegranate, or A Rhyming Couplet, by Kristin Brace from Volume 19. #aprilpoetrymonth

"A cobweb implies the absence of a spider—a small, relatively harmless animal that inspires disproportionate fear in people." Read our interview with Sadie Dupuis online! waterstonereview.com/in-the-field...

"Still, fragile things can also be surprisingly strong..." Read our latest interview with poet JC Talamantez about her piece "Half-Life of Krill." waterstonereview.com/in-the-field...

We are thrilled to announce that the proposal to sunset the MFA program was rejected by the Hamline university faculty. Sadly, we were informed that Meghan Maloney-Vinz's position as Program Coordinator and Water~Stone has been cut. We are still fighting to have these decisions reversed.

"For me, contrapuntals are often about a split consciousness, but also about recognizing a sympathy or coherence between contraries or dualities." Read our interview with Amy Pence on our blog! Amy is the author of the poem "Red Oak, Black Oak," in Volume 27. waterstonereview.com/in-the-field...
