Authors

Abstract

This issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal showcases a rich collection of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and literary criticism, reflecting on themes of self-discovery, relationships, surrealism, feminist literature, and cultural critique. Originally archived as Volume 13, Issue 1, this issue is actually Volume 17, Issue 2, covering Spring 1999. 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 features narrative experimentation and character-driven stories that engage deeply with memory, relationships, and social critique. Highlights include "The Birthday Party" by Greg Norton, a darkly humorous and surrealist short story about power dynamics in the workplace, and "Libby’s Foot" by G.D. Peters, an introspective and unsettling exploration of love and obsession. The poetry selections offer a mix of modernist and experimental styles, with standout pieces such as "Poetic Image" by Aliza Jones and "Ode to the Tumble Weed" by Sharon Baker, which capture themes of place, nostalgia, and movement.

This issue also includes a review of Cat Bones in the Tree by Joan Cofrancesco, providing a thoughtful critique on contemporary poetry and its reflection on human emotions and societal norms.
