“We’re more interested in the world than the self,” editor Jim Hicks writes of the selection process for the new Fall 2015 issue of The Massachusetts Review. It’s a great fundamental barometer for the work found in the issue, including that of Maria Stepanova (translated by Sibelan Forrester) and Olga Tokarczuk (translated by Jennifer Croft). I’m so happy to have my poem “The Very Idea of a Bridge” included.
