The new Summer edition features a handpicked lineup selected by Chaparral’s new Assistant Editors: Freddy Garcia and Itiola Stephanie Jones. We’re also thrilled to showcase brand new interviews with LA poets Amy Gerstler and Lynne Thompson, as well as stunning new poems by Santa Fe’s Jenny George and Albuquerque’s Kathryne Lim. It’s a jam packed issue of fabulous summer reading, and we hope you enjoy it!
