The final issue, dedicated to David Markson, went live today, with writing and audio recordings from Adam Atkinson, Laura Goldstein, Shane Jones, and others. What’s more, the editor has at last stepped out from behind the curtain;
How satisfied are people with the Spring 2012 Virginia Quarterly Review symposium on “the state of American poetry”? Anything left out? Screenshot of contents below. (Possibly interesting side note: It seems Marjorie Perloff pulled her essay from inclusion in the VQR symposium because this other essay was included. Or something to that effect.)
The following is Versal founding editor Megan M. Garr‘s editorial introduction to their recently released 10th anniversary issue, Versal 10.
