Abstract

This issue of Nebo: A Literary Journal presents a compelling collection of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and literary criticism, offering a diverse and thought-provoking exploration of contemporary literature. Originally archived as Volume 9, Issue 1, this issue is actually Volume 13, Issue 2, covering Spring 1995. 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 a remarkable selection of Arkansas Tech Writers, showcasing student contributions alongside established literary voices. Themes of family, identity, war, and artistic expression weave throughout the collection, with works such as "Under the Velvet Lighting" by David M. Jones and "Widow’s Walk" by Marisa C. Lewis offering imaginative and surrealist explorations of human experience. In poetry, Cody Walker’s "The Milkman Impersonates Henry VIII and Charlie Parker" blends humor and musicality, while Jeff Oliver’s "Sex With An Unfinished Dream About Poetry" takes an introspective dive into the mind of a writer.

This issue also includes literary reviews, engaging with contemporary works such as Among the Immortals by Paul Lake and Big Muddy by B.C. Hall and C.T. Wood, providing critical perspectives on modern storytelling and poetic tradition.
