This special program features the final issue of new works of poetry, fiction, essays and reviews, edited by Robert Stewart for New Letters: Volume 86 Nos. 1 and 2. In this Diastole House reading in February 2020, Albert Goldbarth, John Moessner, Trish Reeves, and Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg share their poems from this issue, while poet H.C. Palmer, whose review of John Balaban’s recent book Empires also appears in the magazine, reads a tribute letter from that poet. They also applaud fiction writer and incoming New Letters editor Christie Hodgen, as they discuss the influence and impact of Stewart’s work as an editor, poet, essayist and champion for the literary arts.
