Happy Thursday, MockingHeart friends!

We hope you’re having a fantastic week so far. Thanks for reading our most recent issue, MHR 8.3! I wanted to pass you a note about some exciting work coming your way on Beats, the MHR blog.

Keep a lookout next Wednesday (11/1/2023), for a new conversation with poet Faith Ellington! Watch this space for a lively discussion of academia, new poetry collections, the political act of writing poetry and the nuances of the writing process, and more. This is a conversation 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
