In previous issues we have featured work by Aimee Bender, Joy Harjo, and Maggie Nelson, and our editors have included Antonya Nelson, Richard Russo, and David Foster Wallace. Work originally printed in Sonora Review has appeared in Best of the West and Best American Poetry, and has won O. Henry Awards and Pushcart Prizes.
