Lantern Review <\/em>Issue 9.3: “Reclamation.”<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Happy Thursday! This morning, we’re incredibly excited to announce the release of our third and final volume focused on the theme “Asian American Futures,” Issue 9.3: “Reclamation.”<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Featuring powerhouse poems by Franny Choi<\/a>, \u0110\u1ed7 Nguy\u00ean Mai<\/a>, Seelai Karzai<\/a>, Megan Kim<\/a>, E. J. Koh<\/a>, Rita Mookerjee<\/a>, and Cat Wei<\/a>, as well as stunning cover art by Sophia Zhao<\/a>, this issue wraps up our 2021 season with a triumphant bang. As guest editor Eugenia Leigh writes in the editorial note<\/a>, the voices herein “reclaim their individual and collective narratives with ferocity and clarity. These poems don\u2019t ask for permission\u2014they\u00a0demand<\/em>\u00a0agency as they resolutely tell and retell their stories\u00a0their<\/em>\u00a0way. Look at this story I\u2019ve been told about\u00a0my<\/em>\u00a0life, they say. Look at this story we\u2019ve been told about\u00a0our<\/em>\u00a0lives. Then, with incredible, oftentimes transformative revisioning, they urge us to look again.” Indeed, the work in Issue 9.3 has made us want to revisit these powerful stories again and again\u2014and as a team, we’re proud and honored to get to share it with you this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many thanks again to all of our amazing contributors, to Eugenia, to our fantastic staff readers, and most of all to you, our steadfast readers and community, for making this groundbreaking season possible. What a privilege it has been to explore what Asian America’s collective future(s) might mean in so many different ways throughout the year\u2014and we couldn’t have done it without you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope you’ll enjoy the bounty that Issue 9.3 has to offer, and as always, we’d love to hear from you. Drop us a note in the comments or on Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, or Instagram<\/a> (@LanternReview) to tell us what you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishing you a warm year’s end\u2014and a happy and healthy 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace and light always,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
