By this August, Crab Creek Review will be guided by the talented poets Annette Spaulding Convy and Kelli Russell Agodon. I could not ask for two more capable co-editors to lead this already dynamic collective.
Thanks to all the contributors, editors, fellow publishers, subscribers, donors, booksellers, venues, and of course--current and past staff who've made these past couple of years at Crab Creek an incredibly valuable experience for me.
Cheers!
