In this issue you'll find
an interview with the inimitable
W.D. Valgardson who offers his take on the writing
process.
Editorial Comment Highlights
This issues features winners
from our spring poetry contest, Adrienne Renton,
Deanna Woods and Gavin Lawrence. Poems that will
impress you not only thematically but also structurally.
For the first time in the
Review's history, we entered three of what we
thought were our top stories of 2001 into the
Journey Prize Contest.
This contest accepts only three stories from
each literary magazine across the country which
means our young adult writers have to compete
with adult writers.
We are astonished and delighted to announce
that Nick Melling's story "Philemon"
(issue 19) has been
short listed for the $10,000 prize.
The writing that graces the
pages of The Claremont Review is good. Startling,
stirring, tender.
