Volume 11 Issue 2

Authors

Abstract

This issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal, titled "Welcoming in the Millennium," explores the cultural, philosophical, and personal reflections surrounding the approaching year 2000. Originally archived as Volume 11, Issue 2, this issue is actually Volume 16, Issue 1, covering Fall 1997. 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.

This issue is an introspective and creative response to the millennial transition, featuring poetry, fiction, and essays that grapple with the future, nostalgia, historical reflections, and philosophical musings. Standout pieces include "Welcome to the Millennium" by Doris Henderson, a striking poetic commentary on societal change, and "Standing on the Edge of the Millennium and Looking Back" by Leah Maines, which reminisces about past decades and changing cultural attitudes. Fiction pieces such as "Coterie" by Ron Burch and "The Breath from Darkness" by Do Gentry present psychological and surrealist takes on personal transformation and time’s passage.

This issue also includes critical reviews of contemporary literature, including Marisa Lewis’ review of Modigliani by Martin Gray, which examines the life of the Italian modernist artist, and Karyn Trahan’s review of Broadside from a Ghost Ship by Christopher Presfield, a poetic reflection from behind prison walls.
