MIDDLEBURY, Vt. ? New England Review (NER), a publication of Middlebury College, is pleased to announce the release of the latest issue (Volume 27, #3), now available in the College Book Store and through the journal’s website.

The new issue contains 270 pages of new work in a variety of genres, from lyric poetry to artistic manifesto. Poets in this issue include David Baker, Rachel Hadas, Richard Kenney and Campbell McGrath, as well as newcomers Alex Lemon and Alison Stine. Two debut fiction writers, Rick Canning and 1982 Middlebury graduate Henriette Lazaridis Power, join past NER contributors Marshall Boswell and Glen Pourciau. In nonfiction, Craig Nelson looks back on Thomas Paine and the making of his bestselling “Common Sense,” and novelist B. H. Friedman recalls his travels with Dr. Timothy Leary. Lizzie Hutton rediscovers an intriguing but forgotten French writer in “The Sublime Rebellion of Eveline Mahyère,” while Michael R. Katz, Middlebury College C.V.
