March-April 2018

Marilyn Nelson, winner of the 2017 NSK Neustadt Prize for Children’s Literature, headlines the March 2018 issue of World Literature Today with a reflective essay on her life’s work as a poet and the strands of “social justice and simple beauty” in her writing. The issue also includes a special section devoted to Philippine-American lit, guest-edited by Joseph O. Legaspi; interviews with Kathleen Rooney and Hannah Lowe; verse from Algeria, Turkey, and the Faroe Islands; and much more. As always, dozens of book reviews and recommended books round out the issue, along with “5 Binge-worthy Podcasts for Lit Lovers.”
