Abstract

This issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal is a heartfelt tribute to mentorship, education, and the transformative role of teachers, exploring the profound impact educators have on students and the literary world. Originally archived as Volume 12, Issue 2, this issue is actually Volume 17, Issue 1, covering Fall 1998. Due to necessary metadata adjustments in the digital archiving process, some volume and issue numbers in the online collection may not match those printed in the original journals.

Many of the works in this issue reflect on the legacy of learning, with poetry, fiction, and essays dedicated to teachers and mentors. Notable pieces include "It Goes Without Saying…" by Margo Roby, a poetic meditation on the enduring influence of educators, and "Wrestling With the Answer" by Max Money, which uses a wrestling match as a metaphor for the challenges of learning and understanding. Other highlights include "A Rose for Mr. McKenzie" by Susan McLean, a touching tribute to a beloved music teacher, and "Reminiscences 1958-1960: To My Former English Teacher Who is Retiring" by John Sherman, an evocative reflection on the profound impact of a teacher’s guidance.

Fiction selections explore themes of mentorship, identity, and nostalgia, while the literary criticism and book review sections provide a deeper engagement with contemporary discussions on literature and education.
