Volume 15 Issue 1

Authors

Abstract

This issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal, published in Fall 2000, is a compelling collection of short fiction and poetry, featuring diverse storytelling styles, psychological depth, and experimental narrative forms. Originally archived as Volume 15, Issue 1, this issue includes fiction and poetry from emerging and established writers, offering unique perspectives on identity, relationships, surrealism, and cultural observation. 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 showcases a range of literary styles, from the introspective and lyrical "Sortie" by A.B. Emrys, which explores themes of displacement and cultural identity, to the surreal and unsettling "Noah's Ark" by Alan Elyshevitz, a story that subverts expectations with its dark twists. Other standout fiction includes "Merrily, Merrily, Merrily" by Joan Connor, a haunting meditation on memory and water, and "Come Look" by Shell Fischer, which delves into complex childhood relationships and trauma.

Poetry is also a focal point of this issue, including Jack Malone’s review of A Choice of Killers by F. Keith Wahle, which engages with themes of violence, truth, and poetic realism.
