In Which We Welcome our New Fiction Editor, Sayantani Dasgupta

Barely six months after my essay, Why My Mother Should Take Over the World, got published in Crab Creek Review, I was invited to join its editorial team as the fiction editor. I was delighted and honored, not only because of CCR’s fine reputation but because it would give me an opportunity to exercise my editorial muscle that had been dormant since I stepped away from the world of publishing in 2006 to pursue writing, both as a teacher and student. 

While Crab Creek Review has a history of publishing renowned writers, I am also hoping to find fresh, new voices. I am looking for stories that will stun me with their characters and conflicts, and those that will surprise me with the way they turn. One of my favorite short stories is Jhumpa Lahiri’s Mrs. Sen’s. I have read it countless times and each time I am heartbroken by Mrs. Sen’s loneliness, by her attachment to all the ordinary objects with which she surrounds herself and how they constantly remind her of home. Another favorite is Dan Chaon’s Bees where the father’s day to day existence is scarred by his son’s nightmares and the memory of a past he cannot forget. It’s a deeply haunting story and the author’s grip over its pacing and tension are its greatest strengths.

Since graduating with my MFA in 2006, I have had the privilege of meeting with a variety of writers, and talking to them about craft and process. I have learned about their daily writing practices, favorite books, and so on. I have met writers who prefer to talk only about what has been published and keep under wraps their current projects. And I have also met those who make changes to their manuscript only after discussing it at length with their writing groups. But if there is a way I can distill their collective wisdom and pass it on further, it will be to trust your instinct but not wait for the muse to strike.

Born in Calcutta and raised in New Delhi, Sayantani Dasgupta’s writing has appeared in several American and Indian journals. In her writing, Sayantani likes to explore the intersection of personal story juxtaposed with political turmoil, popular culture, and religious fundamentalism, especially in the context of South Asia, along with answering the question as to what constitutes an Indian identity in an increasingly global world. She lives in Moscow and teaches writing and South Asian literature at the University of Idaho.

A message from our Poetry Editor, Martha Silano

I am very honored and excited to serve as the incoming poetry editor for Crab Creek Review. My first encounter with the magazine came in the early 1990s when I moved from Portland to Seattle to enroll in the University of Washington’s MFA program, where I would study with David Wagoner, Heather McHugh, Linda Bierds, and Richard Kenney. I recall being immediately taken by this little magazine with a big heart, and it is with reverence and humility that I have accepted the task of choosing poems for the magazine beginning with those submitted for possible inclusion in the spring 2014 issue.

My mission as editor will sound familiar: I plan to select for publication the best work that comes across the transom. How do you define best, you might be asking. Originality, risk-taking and craft all both key; I’m looking for poems that aim high and exceed their expectations, that keep alive Pound’s dictum to make it new. When people ask me what kind of poems I enjoy, I often find myself quoting Wesley McNair. He states “Thought will not be possible in your poem unless you give the feet a place to stand, the hands something to touch, the eyes a world to see.” While I wouldn’t rule out entirely the possibility I might accept a poem providing no place for me to stand, nothing to touch or see, the odds are low.

McNair’s words on revision have stayed with me for the past fifteen years. They go like this: “If you have doubts about the poem you have written, the kind of doubts that make you want to ask a friend what he or she thinks, don't bother. Trust the doubts.” What does he mean by trusting the doubts? I think he means that the doubts indicate your poem’s not done yet. It means: either put your unfinished poem in a drawer for a few months, returning to it when you can look at it coldly, much the same way an editor would, or get cracking on reading each line aloud and listening for what’s missing, what could be said in a more interesting way, where you need to stretch the truth, where you need to tighten/cut.

I have read many poems that were wonderful until the final line. Endings are tough. My advice before sending your work off: take your time with those – don’t simply guess that your ending makes sense: ask others what they think: does it overstate, fizzle out, leave the reader scratching his or her head? There’s a je ne se qua quality to a successful poem. When I come across this Whoa-Wha?-How?!-wowness, I get all excited and have to share. Poems that have made me jazzy in that way of late have been Wendy Barker’s “Books, Bath Towels, and Beyond,” Roger Bonair-Agard’s “The All Black Penguin Speaks,” John Ashbery’s “The Instruction Manual,” and pretty much anything by Lucia Perillo, Denise Duhamel, Dorianne Laux, Bob Hicok, Dorothy Lasky, Susan Blackwell Ramsey, Campbell McGrath, and Mary Ruefle. 

But don’t suspect that by naming names I would turn my back on a poem whose author I’ve never heard of, whose voice or style are unfamiliar or strange. One of the reasons I graciously accepted the position of poetry editor is for the sheer pleasure of finding chanterelles among the LBMs (little brown mushrooms, in mycologist-ese), tasty morsels of linguistic goodness in the forest floor otherwise known as the slush pile. As Robert Frost once said, “If it is a wild thing, it is a poem,” wild, I would add, not in the sense of uncrafted or sloppy, but as a made thing that reaches beyond normal or conventional bounds, that deviates from its intended or expected course.

While we are on the topic of voice and style, unfamiliar and strange, let me add that I am not out to publish a certain type of poem, with specific allegiances to narrative or modernist tendencies: I welcome the experimental, the avant-garde, and the conceptual, along with traditional modes of expression. I believe that each poem comes with its own set of rules, its own repair kit. It’s the poet’s job to figure out what the poem requires for its engine to purr.

Keeping all or some of this in mind, I encourage you to send along what you deem to be your most ambitious, polished, and passionate work.

Crab Creek Review Announces 2012 Poetry Contest Results!

Poetry Contest Judge, Susan Rich, has chosen the following poems as the winner, honorable mentions, and finalists of our annual Crab Creek Review Poetry Contest:

Winner:
Leia Penina Wilson-- "And we lost the city we woke up in"

(Leia Penina Wilson’s “and we lost the city we woke up in” is the most interesting break-up poem I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. Part fugue, part country song, part high lyric yearning --- the poem creates a world of broken images in a slow, calm, and utterly controlled measure. There are so many lines I admire here & i crawled inside you and took off all my clothes and still couldn’t exorcise your heart is a line I wish to steal as well as i built a boat with all the towels in your closet &. The ampersand becomes a character of its own moving across the poem to mark different beginnings, endings, and middles. I’ve called this a break-up poem but it could just as easily be a poem of building up a self, constructing an identity through loss and love; the way we all must do.  ~Susan Rich)

Honorable Mentions:
Dave Jarecki-- "Nona Says As I’m Leaving for College"

(The juxtaposition of ordinary phrasing made extraordinary hooks me with each reading of “Nona Says As I’m Leaving for College”:  Stay off the weed, the dope. Don’t think/ is a line that delights me each time I read it. ~Susan Rich)

Greg Nicholl-- "Later I Dreamt the Black Rabbit"

(“Later I Dreamt the Black Rabbit” mixes the real with the surreal creating a world where to purchase a train ticket to a strange town / because you like the sound of its name, makes perfect sense. This is a poem I want to live inside of. ~Susan Rich)

Matthew Guenette-- "A Failure of Spring Rain"
(“A Failure of Spring Rain” is a poem drenched in summer love and a nostalgia told wild and fresh: bass banged so low it migrained our knees, but wasn’t it good, that gasoline smell? ~Susan Rich)

Jessica Walsh-- "The Balloon Artist Falls in Love"
(In “The Balloon Artist Falls in Love” I admire the poet’s cinematic images of “giraffes” and “beach skeletons,” “burning dollars” and “the moon’s terrible failure” which come together to create a trancelike state in this reader’s mind. ~Susan Rich)

Finalists (in alphabetical order):

Judith Barrington-- "Lake Patzcuaro"
Judith Barrington-- "Not a Credo"
Dave Byrd-- "Spring Cleaning"
Katie Eberhart-- "Efficiency Is A Force of Nature As Well As Economics"
Katharine Ogle-- "Riddle For Hunger"
Anna Scotti-- "Philadelphia"
Anna Scotti-- "Save Me a Slice of Raisin Toast…"
Claire Skinner-- "What’s New"
Maya Jewell Zeller-- "The Big Quiet"

Thank you to Susan Rich for judging our contest and to our poetry editor, Ronda Broatch. We received a large number of incredible poems this year. Thank you to all of the poets who entered--we enjoyed reading your work!

Crab Creek Review's Fiction Contest Winner Announced!

Contest judge, Kim Barnes has chosen "The Tenant" by Roger Sheffer as the winner of Crab Creek Review's 2011 Fiction Contest. About her decision to choose "The Tenant", Kim Barnes writes, "The best fiction takes us to that strange place where we have never been but instantly recognize as familiar, and Roger Sheffer's "The Tenant" is just that kind of story: peculiar, fascinating, and, finally, heartbreaking in its portrayal of our need to control the chaos of emotion and vulnerability when what we desire most of all is the courage to belong."

Roger Sheffer has been teaching writing at Minnesota State Mankato since 1980. His most recent book publication is the story collection Music of the Inner Lakes (New Rivers). His stories have appeared in The Missouri Review, Northwest Review, Third Coast, Fugue, Harpur Palate, and many other magazines. His interests, beyond writing, include hiking, rowboats, composing music, and choir singing. About his winning fiction piece, Roger writes, "I was interested in how the power differential between two characters could change, during the course of a story. That it began with a cough and ended with an eviction seemed predestined; hopefully, not too predictable."

Thank you to contest judge, Kim Barnes and to our fiction editors, Jen Betterley and Nancy Canyon. Congratulations, Roger!

Look for "The Tenant" in Crab Creek Review 2012 v. 1, available in spring.
