Wow! What a pleasant surprise. This very professional, put-together journal from University of Colorado Denver was chock full of creative and clever writing!
I find these little journals - paperback literary "magazines" if you will, at our used bookstore, as well as the little free libraries around my neighborhood. I got lucky with this March 2019 issue of "Coppernickel".
I think one of the reasons I'm so pleased is that I just read two of the Michigan Quarterly Reviews - University of Michigan's Journal. I hated the selections so much - the poetry in particular was just awful and everything was angry, trying to hard to be trendy, or victim-themed. I didn't even bother to review it here on GR. And I'll never pick it up again if that's the direction the editor wants to take it. Then this little gem comes along to renew my faith in university journals! Balanced variety of fiction to nonfiction, poetry, folios, and essays.
Some of my favorites: the short stories by Sarah Ann Strickley, Preeta Samarasan, the nonfiction by Shena McAuliffe, the essay by Rebecca Lehmann, and poet William Brown's "Ode to My Hernia".
