Volume 22 Issue 1

Authors

Abstract

This issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal, published in Spring 2007, presents a compelling collection of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction that delves into identity, transformation, and cultural reflection. Originally archived as Volume 22, Issue 1, the print edition is labeled as Volume 25, 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.

A notable highlight of this issue is the striking cover art by Christopher J. Roland, whose imagery sets the tone for a vivid and thought-provoking collection of works. The literature within this edition explores themes of self-discovery, change, and artistic expression, mirroring the powerful visual storytelling captured on the cover.

Fiction highlights include "The Visitor" by James Swann," a haunting and surreal tale that challenges perceptions of reality, and "Inheritance" by Lisa D. Smith, a deeply personal narrative about memory and family history. In poetry, "The Shape of Sound" by Jennifer Grotz experiments with rhythm and form to capture fleeting emotions, while "Reflections in Blue" by Timothy Richards explores the connection between color, music, and memory.

This issue weaves personal narratives with broader cultural themes, making it a visually and intellectually engaging installment of Nebo.
