Abstract

This issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal, published in Fall 2002, presents a carefully curated selection of poetry and short fiction, focusing on personal identity, memory, nostalgia, and the exploration of self through art and storytelling. Originally archived as Volume 17, Issue 1, the print edition only notes Fall 2002 as its publication date. 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 framed by an Editor's Note by Jeremy Bunts, which reflects on the power of art to capture silence, emotion, and the fleeting nature of memory. Many of the stories and poems within this collection engage with themes of observation, personal reflection, and the way small moments define a life.

Highlights include "To a Five Cent Package of Writing Paper" by Juliana Gray Vice, a poignant meditation on memory and inheritance, and "Aspects of a Train" by Anina Robb, a layered poetic exploration of travel, movement, and shifting perspectives. Fiction selections such as "Revenge" by Donna Michelle Fowler and "Pigs’ Feet" by Jeremy Burns present gripping narratives that blur the line between realism and psychological tension. The poetry in this issue ranges from deeply personal reflections on family and place to surreal and experimental depictions of urban and rural landscapes.
