@ChestnutReview How can I get the Chestnut Review Issue?

Amelia Loeffler’s poem “Distance Running Dreamscape” straddles “the peace” Loeffler finds as a runner and “the omnipresent threat of violence that follows women who run alone” with delicate precision. Read the poem in full in Chestnut Review’s Autumn 2024 (6:2) Issue!

“In this piece, I tried to recreate a memory from childhood using sensory details and the feeling of the moment instead of using the actual time period (season), which is revealed at the end.” — Liz Robbins on Family Room in Autumn 2024 chestnutreview.com/liz-robbins-fa…

"And if things could be different, I would have held the knife steady. Made an offering. Praised and praised. On Sundays, I forget to leave my guilt behind." — "Blasphemy Baby" by K. Mobley. K. Mobley Read now at Chestnut Review Autumn 2024.
