ANNOUNCEMENTS
The final poem of issue 31, "O Youthfulness," is a catalog of the very-muchness of our lives, from "regrettable sartorial choices" to "running the anchor leg" of a relay race, to "diving from a cliff so swift you can't tell/ Flight from impact."
"O Youthfulness"—sad, comic, utterly surprising—was written by Dean Young. Dean, a poetic luminary and a great friend to New Ohio Review, passed away in August, at 67. We dedicate this issue to him.
New Ohio Review submission periods are Sept. 15th to Dec. 15th and January 15th to April 15th. A subscribe-and-submit option is available year round.

So I'm learning to squeeze a little discipline
From the porous emotions, though they're prone to go berserk,
Like weasels on a trapeze.
