The Freshening - a solid but fairly soft punch at racial stereotyping. Enjoyed its individualized rather than pedantic perspective.

Have Many Rabbit = a fine 5 star poem. Favorite read in this issue so far. The story Rabbits was okay. I appreciate the funny editorial aside putting these together, but otherwise unimpressed. Zagajewski poems very good.

Loved the Spencer Reece poems and loved the concept of Bishop translating Max Jacob, but the poems themselves didn't work for me (except for maybe 'Urgency'. The impossibility to convey the full poem in translation is very clearly explained in the introductory essay - 'Rain' being the best example. If wordplay is so pivotal in a poem, i'd argue it shouldn't be translated.

Didn't like Exodus. It bored me. The Denial of Death by Gluck was quite good though.
