Forty-seventh Issue

For its forty-seventh issue, AQ selected work from eight countries on four continents. Headlining AQ47 is fiction about the overuse of mobile phones by Susan E. Lloy, the importance of waiting in line for good things in New York City by Rob Schwartz, and a baseball player willing to take his chances to make it to the big leagues by Tommy Vollman. There is also an essay on friendship by Emma Sednaoui, and forthcoming a memoir by Bryan R. Monte about his first encounter with Dutch and Dutch gay culture in 1989 as well as his review of Claudia Gary’s new poetry book, Time and Other Solvents.

As always, there is an embarrassment of riches in poetry from around the globe by Diarmuid Cawley, Lee Fraser, Claudia Gary, Amlanjyoti Goswami, Megan Horsthuis, Barbara E. Hunt, Marc Janssen, Sushanth Shyamsundar, Sara Stegen, Gopu M. Sunil, and Fiona Ritchie Walker.

We hope you will enjoy reading AQ47, especially during the increasingly longer autumn nights.
