Abstract

This issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal, published in Spring 2005, is dedicated to B.C. Hall (1936–2004), honoring his contributions to literature and his influence on the Nebo community. Originally archived as Volume 19, Issue 1, the print edition is labeled as Volume 23, Issue 2. 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.

Edited by Nicholas B. Morris, this issue brings together a diverse collection of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction, reflecting on themes of loss, memory, artistic identity, and cultural critique. Among the standout works is "From Kincsem – Chapter 2" by B.C. Hall, allowing readers to experience his storytelling legacy firsthand.

Fiction highlights include "Revival" by Ron Giles, a beautifully crafted Southern narrative that examines faith and community, and "Blood" by Michelle Le. McKinney, an intense and immersive short story about resilience and struggle. The non-fiction selection, featuring pieces such as "Our National (Fill in the Blank) Policy" by Keith Franklin, offers sharp political and cultural commentary.

This issue also presents a rich poetic collection, featuring works by Doug Shields, Keith Franklin, David Breeden, Allison Whittenberg, and Alana Merritt Mahaffey, exploring themes of societal change, nostalgia, and the power of words.
