Fall 2019
Issue 23
Coal Hill Review’s 23rd issue navigates longing, actualization, and resolve. Brimming with poetry, fiction, nonfiction, two book reviews and an interview, much of the work here invites the reader to experience life through meditative lenses of endurance, self-rediscovery.
We are excited to showcase writing from renowned authors, M. Soledad Caballero, David Kirby, and July Westhale, Pittsburgh’s own, Dillon Thomas Jones, Sam Smith, and Clare Welsh, and every contributor who has given this issue life. Issue 23 also includes a conversation between M. Randal O’Wain and poet Justin Wymer, a review of Dustin Pearson’s debut collection of poetry, as well as a review of Carolyne Wright’s This Dream the World: New and Selected Poems.
