Happy Tuesday, MockingHeart friends!

We hope you’re having a fantastic week so far, and that you’ve considered submitting to the Fall 2022 issue, MHR 7.3 (submissions close at the end of August)! Additionally, thanks for reading our most recent issue, MHR 7.2! While we’re talking, I wanted to pass you a note about some exciting work coming your way on Beats, the MHR blog.

Keep a lookout, this Friday (8/19/2022), for Associate Editor Denise Rogers’ new interview with poet Dave Malone! Watch this space for a lively discussion of family history, the COVID-19 pandemic, poems from his new book Tornado Drill, and more. This is an interview you won’t want to miss.

Thanks again for helping to make MockingHeart Review a vibrant and enjoyable magazine. And thank you as well, friends, for your excellent work in the world.

Tyler Robert Sheldon, Editor-in-Chief
